Show install size and estimated download time near the install button
On the Steam client Library page - show the install size near the INSTALL button for a game so I don't have to click through to the installation prompt to see the install size (0 clicks vs 2 clicks).

Additionally, show the expected download time here too based on my known bandwidth and the known file size so I know how long it will take. I shouldn't have to do this abstract time calculation when the computer can calculate a very good estimate of minutes to install and show it right there near the install button.

If optional, sure. I don't mind the click, but I do mind clutter on the library pages.

Near the Install button of a game in Library it currently shows:
Last Played date (useless)
Total Play time (useless)
Achievements (useful for some)

I believe install size and expected time to download are actually useful information when choosing a game to install and are more important than all 3 of those current stats combined.

I wouldn't mind making all of those optional. Plenty of people find those three rather important, though.

Adding install size would be nice. I find the other features useful as well.

Why not just go to install it to see the same exact information?
