I would like to know the total size of Ubuntu repository with individual repository-component (Main, Universe, Multiverse, Restricted) sizes for:

  • 32-bit platform.
  • 64-bit platform.

Out of curiosity, I just installed apt-mirror Install apt-mirror and configured it to mirror maverick, maverick-security, and maverick-updates (i386 only). It reported:

68.6 GiB will be downloaded into archive.

I am thinking of starting a project where I am going to convert all the existing apt packages on the Ubuntu repositories to snappy versions on my server – Suici Doga Mar 6 '16 at 13:55

You can also try using this script I created recently by improving a little other bash code. The script computes the size of Debian repositories as well. I got this results.

The script does not seem to be available anymore. – Zitrax Oct 11 '16 at 10:14

When I downloaded it in March 2011, everything in all, both 32 and 64 bit (from lucid to maverick) archive.ubuntulinux.org combined with source packs = ~450-500GB. Hundreds of thousands of files.

445GB 515,975 files... That's a lot. Mind you that was from last year. I estimate that it is probably a bit larger considering the new releases. I will probably have to get a 1 to 2 terabyte dedicated hard drive to fit the new repository. – Doctor Who Mar 9 '12 at 12:00
    
its a lot, but it includes source codes. the pure compiled list is 10x less ~=60gb – ulkas Oct 26 '14 at 17:03

The question is too old and already answered but I will add the reference to official website and states.

How big is the Debian archive?

Total 2536 Note that the archive is constantly growing; testing will grow especially as a release approaches

How big is the Debian CD archive?

The CD archive varies greatly across mirrors — the Jigdo files are around 100-150 MB per architecture, while the full DVD/CD images are around 15 GB eac.
