Gundato: Honestly, I doubt if GoG knows or cares that it is different. Dime to a dollar, they just use scripts and utilities to calculate and post the sizes. And chances are that the library used in the downloader uses a different system than whatever is running on the webserver which is apparently different from whatever Firefox uses.

You're still not getting it. Look at the attached picture in the OP. The script or whatever used on the site lists the same file at two different sizes, right after each other. Provided it uses Base10, it's not even two different sizes, but the same size, only expressed in two different ways.

No, it isn't a big deal. Read the OP properly. The words I use to describe the phenomenon are "odd" and "slightly amusing". Why does that apparently lead people to the conclusion that I'm angry about this? I just thought it was interesting, and decided to share it.

Gundato: It is going to be a few megabytes difference, and while I can see that being a problem if you are someone who downloads and then puts on flash drives, you then run into the issue of what system your flash drive uses :p

Actually, I'm pretty sure there is NO difference whatsoever, since it's the exact same file. It's only a matter of how the file size is shown.
