Got High End Loft Stuff two days early . . . for all the good it does me.

Again, the ARR'd copy is just the disk image of a DVD, always going to be 4.7 gb in size. EA just used a DVD when they probably could've used a CD. Of course, they're more flimsy and kind of out of date. The disk could also be bloated with old patches, as well.
A copy I found was about 1GB to download, and the directory for the stuffpack itself only takes up 266mb. Not sure if my .package files load or not, I gave up after 1 minute of loading, new patch/stuffpack has really screwed me over.

An image file, regardless of whether it is a DVD or CD, would be relative in size to the actual data. A 10 MB file burned to a DVD would not create a 4.7 GB iso, nor an other form of an image. Something else is contained within that ViTALiTY release image, possibly previous patches, although they do not equate to the large size.

I guess we'll find out when enough people are seeding. Right now I'm getting "Seeds: 1 out of 63 connected".
SEED, YOU BASTARDS! :D
Edit: Restored errant comma.

To think, we are anxiously waiting to get a release, armed with the knowledge that it may FUBAR our installs...
We must be gluttons for EA Punishment :(

It's the mac updates that are huge, that folder on the disk is 3.45 GB. Windows updates are 771 MB. The actual installed game folder is just 270 MB.
