It shouldn't. If you are choosing the correct/same install root-directory
and package download directory, which are the defaults in the respective
fields, it should only attempt to download updated packages, unless you
choose otherwise.

If you do not want to install every update you can click the 'View' button
until it says 'Partcial' , which gives a list of packages that are flagged
as updates. You can click on the version number of the package until it says
'Keep'.
