The approximate file sizes have been updated on the Downloads page.

Closing as fixed.

Thank you for notifying about this.

The file size hasn't been updated for these links in a while. I opened a PR for that web page here:

The website needs to be updated. 507M is about right.

The website https://octave.org/download#ms-windows says
<verbatim>
octave-10.1.0-w64-installer.exe (~ 380 MB) [signature]
</verbatim>

but after download the file has 507 MB (531.991.453 Bytes)
which is quiet differenct and smells like the file was changed on download.

Any thoughts?
