Slim Client File Size?

I wanted to get a fresh install of the game with the newer client. The download said the slim was 3.5 GB vs. the 7 or so the full is. However when I start the Slim Client download the downloader says its downloading 6,154.3 MB which is much larger than listed. I think you guys need to change that so people don't get stuck with a partial download. You haven't given us a fast enough way to download this game and on top of that nobody wants to get 3/4 of the way though a big download which takes hours on a 3.0 mb/s connection just to realize you need to free up more space just to download it all over again. Please relabel to reflect its true size.

I also noticed this. Either it's NOT the slim client but the full one, or the size cited on the website is incorrect.

Full client is now almost 9Gb - the sizes are wrong.

EU download page has the correct file sizes: http://www.runesofmagic.com/en/download.html

Yes, the file size for the slim client is an error on the US website and has been noted. No ETA on when it might be corrected, sorry.

The file sizes are wrong on the EU site as well. It says 4.6g for slim, but slim is 6.1+g

Thank you for noting. Would be nice to get a fix. I know I have to clear space every time I want to reinstall game. It would be nice to know how much to clear before hand. Cheers.
