Very large. In order to insure the quality is as good as the original book and allow for great zooming for details, the book was divided up into 24 PDFs. In most cases, one PDF is devoted to each chapter and each appendix. Total for all PDFs is about 585 MB. See the Home page for more details on downloading and viewing PDFs.

Generally under 5 minutes, but depends on your download speed. As soon as you save the first PDF on your computer, you can select the next to download before the first has completed its download. In this way, you can quickly select all the downloads in a little over a minute, then allow the downloads to take whatever time is needed to complete. There is no need to wait on a completed download of one PDF before selecting the next one.
