Uncomment or add "ShowSize" in your pacman.conf and it'll show the download size.

Is it any useful for a website?
Comment by Laszlo Papp (djszapi) - Saturday, 07 November 2009, 08:19 GMT
maybe If you go the mirror you choosed you will see the size while downloading, and you can decide download it or not. Is there any other purpose of this request ?
Comment by Rodolfo Borges (bart9h) - Saturday, 07 November 2009, 16:27 GMT
yes, there is a purpose. people browse the packages looking for software to install.
there are often multiple options to choose from, and the size of the package is indeed a relevant indicator.

if it does not take much time to implement, it could be a useful feature.
the same goes for the package management tools (pacman, etc).
