I was talking with a user recently who needs to know the exact size of

How is it different from what is reported in the orange download box?
Are you looking for totals?
I'm vaguely aware that file sizes differ depending on how they are
calculated (number of bytes in the file vs. how much space it takes up
on disk?).
I think that's file size vs block size, the latter which is pretty
much never reported. Eg, on your mac, create a file with a couple of
bytes and look at ls -l (2 bytes) and the cmd-I info pane for the file
- Size: 4KB on disk (2 bytes).
Archiva would be reporting the file size.
Are you saying they need to know what the block sizes are, or is that
the info they have?
