Hi Gordan, I'll go through my yum listings and see if I can spot where the extra space has gone :)
I've updated the block size as you recommended and I've aligned the name of my files with yours, and fixed a small typo on the wiki page. Also, could you set the logo on the wiki page to make it look a bit nicer :) I guess you have decent artwork, but in case its a hassle, here is one the right size (155x155) cropped from the website, if you want to add it.
