I just checked my Catholic Encyclopedia files, and can give some
concrete numbers relating to this issue.

The module has 382 image files totalling 6.89 mb, but they take up 11.4
mb of disk space on this FAT32 partition due to unfilled clusters.  I
don't know how well this module is going to work with InstallMgr
transfers either, since it has no resume feature.
