That's funny, I just downloaded 
the "full" option, and all the 
source code, and I can't seem 
to download more than ~100 MB.

I have heard some reports of 
cygwin being ~400 MB in size, 
but a gig sounds very wrong.

Any definitive size from 
those in the know?

When it filled up nearly a gigabyte of space, I knew I couldn't do that.
