Odd behavior

[Tim Schmidt]

This is probably a silly question since I just started diving into NuGet (from a programmatic standpoint) like a half hour ago.  I'm trying to page through all the NuGet packages in the order they were published.  I have the following code:

            var packages = nuget.GetPackages()
                .OrderByDescending(x => x.Published)
                .Skip(PageSize)
                .Take(PageSize)
                .ToList();

But even though I'm trying to only take PageSize (const set to 50), it seems to fire off a bunch of queries in succession like it's pulling all of the packages at once?  Why is it doing that when I only want the first x?

Thanks,

tim
