Seriously just move your eye an inch up and check if you see the WiFi icon in the status bar.
Also you can reduce the amount of days you have to download each update by using something like CyanDelta - it downloads a delta file that only has the changed stuff in the update - greatly reducing the update size (from 250MB to ~10MB). Though even 10MB may often be a little more than one would usually want to download over mobile data, so you should still glance to make sure you're on WiFi (but if you still somehow accidentally download it on 3G it won't be as bad).
Yes and yes. You can ease the process by using CyanDelta. It allows you to flash a delta update everyday and has ~~to~~ the option to flash multiple zip files all at the same time.
edit: typo :(
They're cumulative, full images, not delta updates - so you can flash whatever zip you would like as long as it is newer than your current one. Edit: And as long as it is the same version! You could NOT update 13.0 to 14.1 for example, without causing problems - see this wiki page
This is a delta updater - it only installs changes in the rom image between builds so these are not cumulative and would need to be installed in turn (I think, I don't use it).
CyanDelta allows you to nominate various zips to be flashed after it's flashed a CM update. It'll automate the whole process, if I'm understanding your question correctly.
Updating nightlies does not wipe your data. Use Cyandelta Updater to update nightlies.
Just back up your important apps with titanium, and everything else to your PC, and you should be fine. I believe your virtual SD card will be untouched as well.
You provide the app with the zip you have installed and rather then downloading the full update it just downloads the differences from the one you already have. So rather then downloading a full 200-300MB update, you download something closer to 10-30MB.
The description on the Play Store page will probably explain it better than I did.
second that. I am on latest nightlies since yesterday. I use cyandelta to keep myself up to date.
Nightlies are stable right now. Much much stable than COS12(CM12S). I would highly recommend everyone to flash nightlies and get better life. I was very skeptical about flashing something on to my phone. It's really worth it. So, go ahead and flash the crap out. You don't even mess up with your warranty. And follow this awesome guide
Check out the app: cyandelta
Its a fantastic app that you show you the latest nightly, show you the changelog for it, and its best feature is that it will only download the updated files. So the update to the next nightly may only be 10MB in size, vs downloading an entire new 300MB nightly every day.
Whoa, this is just what I ~~like~~ was looking for, thanks a bunch!

Guide to rooting that I used:
I use Blisspop but I think people use CyanDelta to update nightly.
~~CyanDelta~~
~~Ymmv. I can't use it because I have an A/B partition device and TWRP isn't a persistent install, but you can use this to download Delta's. Haven't used in a loooong time, but I hope it works for ya!~~
Edit: on second glance, they haven't updated the app since 2017, and their website is down...lol
Also, I use CyanDelta (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyandelta ) which allows for flashing a series of zips after a ROM flash. Bonus is that the download is only 50-70 megs of differential data. Using it since at least CM13, maybe even earlier, I forget.
Drawback is that the zip is an uncompressed zip, so if you keep it on your device, it takes up a bit more space.
Theoretically, yes you can update cm12 nightlies ota. I personally have never had luck with it however (not sure if it plays nicely with twrp). I would just enable root access in the dev settings and use the app cyan delta.
I have an app called CyanDelta which updates it for you. It is seriously the most helpful app I have. It literally does everything for you and it has a super in depth changelog for each update.
Edit: I think I read your question wrong, but I'll leave the info for anyone else that might find it helpful.
Indeed. Are you manually flashing? You can use CyanDelta to automatically flash it and you don't have to download the full build. The downloads range from 5MB to 30MB because it only gets whatever is changed from build to build. When you first use it though, you need to download the full build.
You can use CM and also Slim I think with Cyandelta from the play store, basically downloads just the changes from the previous build, so normally just a 15mb update

I use CyanDelta.
There used to be an app called CyanDelta which downloaded the deltas and merged it into the full zip.
I used this app whilst on CM :
+1 on CyanDelta.
CyanDelta (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyandelta) is pretty awesome as you're only downloading the delta between your current verison (you need the zip) and the new one.
Yes. Have a look at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyandelta&hl=en
Found a nice tool for delta updates on xda.

No need too download full zip and flashing it. Makes life simple.
And if you want to keep up to date, CyanDelta works great for updating only what has changed between each nightly.
Yes it does not work for me as well. But CyanDelta (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyandelta&hl=en) works perfectly for me. Hope the updater works eventually though.
I would suggest CyanDelta.
As there probably won't be a newer stock android for xt1032: http://motorola-blog.blogspot.com.br/2015/10/marshmallow-and-smore.html I've chosen to put TWRP/opengapps/CM13 on my xt1032, combined with the cyandelta app for small (<50MB) updates this seems to work alright.
Be sure to check http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/forum/1048-motorola-moto-g-falcon/ for people running into issues with the latest nightly before you update.
Oh alright, I heard about CyanDelta and I thought the CM devs might have built-in something similar.
