Set file size programmatically

[danirabbit]

So that we don't have to modify this page every time the iso changes (creating potential for human error), we should be setting the file size of the ISO programmatically.

Are we still planning to link to Sourceforge for the download? Perhaps they have an API to get the filesize? If not, I'm totally okay with it being manual as it's not going to change often at all.

I didn't find any "filesize" in sourceforge api. Anyway Cassidy is right, we can just show something like "around 8xx mb".

There is a way to do this with Sourceforge API: http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/API%20-%20Classic/ > "File Releases"

For each file in a feed (e.g. http://sourceforge.net/projects/limechat/rss), there is a filesize attribute (in media:content).
