Depends how you look at it.  Apache displays file sizes in binary
megabytes, although it uses the simple suffix "M".  This is not
configurable in Apache.

I think you must be computing sizes in decimal megabytes.  For example,
right now, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ shows natty-
alternate-i386.iso as being 667M; the exact size is 699183104 bytes,
i.e. 699 decimal megabytes; 699183104/1024/1024 is about 666.8, which
rounded up gives the figure used by Apache's directory index.

Fortunately, the limit for CD-Rs is 700 *binary* megabytes, not 700
decimal megabytes; in other words, 734003200 bytes.  Thus I'm inclined
to leave the display the way it is (not that I have much choice, since
as mentioned it isn't configurable anyway) so that it's easy to see that
any CD image over a nice round number of 700 is oversized.
