Which one is more expensive?
1. Download the page and read them when you are offline (if it
is still too expensive, you have the option not to read it).
2. Download it together with freeciv distribution (every
releases) plus the additional codes in the client to handle it.

And spend some money buying a few megs of RAM to load the client.
