User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.2) Gecko/2008091620 Firefox/3.0.2
Build Identifier: 

When I visit mozilla.com from the UK, the download size for Firefox 3.0.3 en-GB is reported as being 7.8MB, when in fact it is 7.0MB (see screenshot). (I have no idea if it affects other locales.)

mozilla-europe.org however reports the size correctly as 7.0MB.

Reproducible: Always

Confirmed; ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0.3/win32/en-GB/Firefox%20Setup%203.0.3.exe says it's 7163 KB.

Changed to 7.1MB, as this size is for all builds, and the en-US build is 7.1MB. :(

Should it be showing 7.1MB now, or will it be a little while before it filters through? It still shows 7.8MB at the moment for en-GB (with JavaScript enabled, that is; it shows 7.1MB for the en-US version with JavaScript disabled).

Also (pedantry alert!) isn't 7163KB (for en-GB) actually just under 7MB? http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=7163KB+in+MB gives 6.99511719 megabytes and as can be seen in the screenshot Firefox reports it as 7.0MB.

The en-US build (at 7333KB) is actually closer to 7.2MB (7.16113281 megabytes to be precise) and Firefox reports it as 7.2MB in the download manager.

Please ignore that second bit about the size of the en-GB build; I misunderstood your comment.
