well, it depends on how 'casual' you casual player is. In my case I'd think
that most casual players have no idea what the registry is, so I should be
safe until a someone decides to put a .ref file somewhere.

Actually, the shareware version of my game is bigger than the complete
version, because it contains the nag-screens. The additional levels of the
complete version do not need additional resources, and the size of the level
data is not significant to make a difference. In fact, the levels are
hardcoded in the executable... Anyway, I don't think the additional download
is a good thing. "Register and get the key" seems to be more attractive to
me.
