In the Mac App Store, how can I find out the size of updates? Sometimes when it's a small file I don't mind downloading it straight away, but if it's like a few gigabytes of download then I might prefer to wait until I'm gone or don't need the internet.

I also do not want to start the download and pause it after that — this isn't a solution…

Just recently for example I accidentally clicked to update iPhoto, which was ca. 1Gb of download. I didn't want it to be updated now because I needed the internet, and the download would slow it down obviously. But what sucked even more is I couldn't use iPhoto anymore until the download was finished. That's just retarded 😕 So please tell me there's a way to see the size of the update!
 
No idea, but I was just about to ask the same thing and searched first and found your post.

So here's a legit bump : )
