Wrong filesize on website?

The King's Quest II site states that the game is 321 MB. Now, the file I'm downloading right now is 236 MB, and the folder with the installed game is 407 MB (not counting save files). So how did that number appear? Am I downloading the wrong game? :eek

I just tried downloading from here: http://www.agdinteractive.com/games/kq2 ... nload.html and it started downloading a 321MB file. Maybe one of the mirrors is screwy. I'd try again. Or try this direct link to one of the mirrors.

The installed game folder would be larger than the install file because the game files are likely compressed prior to installation.

I was wondering if that 321MB was for the installer or the game folder, because the file I was downloading was smaller. It seems one of the mirrors has the wrong version of the game.

So I started clicking on the download button obsessively and found that this URL is dead:

And here is the culprit: http://rockse.com/KQ2/Kq2vga30.exe
