I've had a chance to build and play with it now - and overall, I think it's rather nice! :-)
One last thing, though:
Should we keep the sizes in bytes, so that the length of the number is an immediate visual indication of package size, or would use
of kilo/mega suffices be better, combined with rounding to 3 significant digits, to minimize the horizontal space used?
