how many MBs of data are downloaded when performing a STAGE 1 install?

I know 10MB are downloaded for the portage tree, but how many are downloaded for the rest of the install.

thanks.

many internet providers have download caps etc and breaching these can have severe penalties.

With no indication of how much is downloaded, there is no way to estimate what usage will be and thereby avoid penalties.
