Actually, an upgrade would be:

1) ftp download new version
2) ftp upload new version on server
3) decompress through ssh
4) change ownership on folder (optional) through ssh
5) change permissions on folder through ssh
6) rm old folder through ssh
7) link new folder through ssh

step (1) takes anything up to 3 hours if the operation is successful in many
places in Africa and in most of other development countries
step (2) takes anything up to 3 hours  if the operation is successful in
many places in Africa and in most of other development countries

If that is simple.

finally I a not propsing to abandon the link method, but to add the diff
method


Best,

Corrado
