Thanks for the feedback. There must be something wrong with my nose. I searched again, using the ftp links you suggested, but still could find nothing in the way of a statement of the size of the download of, say, the 4.1 release. The only way I've seen so far that would get me the size parameters I want would be to open each dir, right click (in IE 5) on each file, select properties, then look at the file size. I'd have to write each one down, and then add them all up. Perhaps there's a simpler way? Any further tips? Just a ballpark figure would suffice: I'm not looking for anything terribly precise.

Assuming that you want the latest RELEASE (for i386) then ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1-RELEASE/ Is the top level. The entire contents of the bin sub-dir is required for a minimum install.
