How to read the file size for a mod on steam workshop
I've been wondering this for a while now but how do you read the file size of a mod? the most mods I have are for BO3 but I can't seem to understand the sizes of them.

Something went wrong while displaying this content. Refresh

I don't know if there away to check for file size for those before download.

It tells you the file size when you visit the mod page.

If need example https://imgur.com/LBSF2Kw

Let take this mod for example
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2479589279


File size 19.558MB / 19 DOT 558MB, it's 19MB and 558KB big that how big the mod is, it's little under 20MB.

that makes sense but how bout for something like this?

On the page it says 1.708.624 mb. From the file that acutally has a preview image I found out it was 13gb but I'm not sure how you get that frim that number.
