That's good to have the size in the main download box. However, given that the size is approximate, I'm not sure it's necessary to provide it to two decimal places. Either give the exact size, or round to the nearest MB. The page shows me: Windows (EXE) and English (British) (~129.89 MByte). Once downloaded, the Windows XP property page shows: 129 MB (136,201,626 bytes) So I think the download box should also show 129MB Unhelpfully, the SF downloads page [1] shows 136.2MB - looks as though they divided by 1000 rather than 1024 - though it's unlikely anyone would/could use that page as the file names are all truncated. I don't know if it's possible to change the column sze for the name column. Would be good if that could be corrected along with the size.
