My preference is for "allows verification of" rather than "allows verifying". I'm sure this won't fly, but, the correct plural form of "index" is "indices".

I'd rewrite the final sentence as: Updated package indices won't be downloaded in their entirety, but instead patched with smaller files containing only differences from earlier versions. -- G.
