ENH: info about expected size of data download

Open jkrick opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Is there a way to know what the total data volume is (in GB) before running download_products? get_product_list will tell me the number of rows, but I really want to know the number of GB. It is far too easy to download a large amount of data without realizing it.
