A gigabyte download to support a few mcus? No thanks.

I think Keil 5.0 got it right: use modular download on an as-needed basis.

You can select what you need to install, I instaled only for the c8051f99x family, no problem with that, everything, studio and stuff for 680MB.
As an bonus you got an offline parametric search for all mcu's from silabs.

680MB is still a lot of space for those 8051 parts. The old ide (16.0) is only 15MB, for all of their 8051 parts.

As others have pointed out, just install the modules you really need. It is easy to get caught out on some bloated options.
When it happened to me, I manually filleted the install :-)
I'm just happy they finally gave us a FREE extensive Keil / Silabs IDE a year or so ago. That 2K/4K limit sucked !
Hello <tap> <tap> .. is this thing on?
