That's silly.
If you can find that in the message archive 
I'll give you a Micro buck.  

The package is bigger now because:
   - base package has grown (PD source, backend.exe etc.)
   - more convenient for people who want to use interpreter and translator
   - more convenient for me to prepare 1 package, rather than 8 
   - more people have high-speed Internet access
