....
Can anyone explain the differences in size descriptions and download sizes?
Why not expand them and find out?
My guess is the updates will be one size; their install files will add to that.
Even if the final package is zipped it would still be bigger than the two
pieces combined because zipping the update may not compress it
very much.

#1- I just finished downloading some Critical Updates for my computer
(WinXP/IE6) and the one marked KB925454 had the description as "Cumulative
Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XP - 1.4 MB 3 minutes."
But then when I started the download I saw that the size was 7.40 MB. Why
the large difference in size stated and downloaded size?
#2- Also, KB890830 downloaded 4.60MB, while the download last month was
730KB. Why the large increase in download size? I have been using KB890830
for quite a long time.
#3- Also, before I began the downloads, it stated at the top of the page
that the total download size for all would be 9.7MB. The actual total of
downloads was well over 15MB.
Quite a difference in the size of download compared to size in description.
And a lot more time spent on the download for those of us using dial-up.
Can anyone explain the differences in size descriptions and download sizes?
Thank you.
Alice
