  The answer: 1.6 gigs.

    1.6gigs is no doubt the compressed answer. Anyone know the uncompressed size?

  Thanks. My point to the web designer stands though, the information should be on the first page. Before seeing your message, I looked and didn't find it; had to determine it by loading up the torrent in a client. Also as sillysaurus3 pointed out the expanded size is useful too.
