3.7 GB as an ISO
3.4 GB as a zipped file.

Go to LibreOffice-NA.US for a complete answer to that question.  The 
DVDs are browser based and they are on that testing portal for use.  The 
DVDs are "offline" versions of what is on the testing portal.

LibreOffice North American Community DVD project has created this set of 
DVDs that has the install files, help packs, and language packs for US 
English, Great Britain English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Brazil 
Portuguese, and Hebrew.  Also included on the DVD[s] are all the known 
.oxt dictionary files, many extensions, many templates and sample files, 
artwork, documentation, and other items that create a DVD that has 
almost everything a LibreOffice user might want or need.

Over time, the pages from the testing portal will be recreated on the 
CMS system
http://north-america.libreofficebox.org/

Hopefully the first version will be up and running [fully edited] by the 
end of August.  That version will be 3.3.x Windows-Linux-Mac.  On the 
testing portal, along with .iso files we have

3.3.3
Windows-only version
Windows-Linux-Mac version

3.4.1
Windows-only version
Windows-Linux-Mac version

It will take time to get all 4 versions re-created with the CMS system 
specs, and have those .iso files available to the user base.  I want to 
have a place for the current .iso files till the new ones are available 
through the CMS system that Libreoffice.org has placed online for the 
different teams across the globe.
