Having been at my sister's place yesterday, I went crazy with her High Speed Internet.
I decided to download myself a fresh batch of avast's latest version.
I do this periodically so that in case I ever have to reinstall avast, I don't have to endure a HUGE download of Virus Definitions Updates on my Dial Up if I use an old download Setup File.
I used the:
http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free_eng.exe link.
With that one, the Setup File Size was 43.7 MBytes.
The Setup File from FileHippo was 52.5 MBytes.
Then there was the C/Net download.com Setup File at 49.13 MBytes.
Okay, NOW ... I am theorizing that the download from the avast site is likely the lowest because it is English only, right?
And I'm assuming the download from FileHippo is the biggest because it's probably an international / multi-language version, right?
So, what does that make the C/Net download.com download?
Why is that one somewhere in the middle in File Size?
What does it have more of than the download from the avast site ... yet has less than the download from the FileHippo site?
