    Hi,
    I was downloading content of Komplete, I've bought recently and noticed that Kontakt libraries have a smaller size (even unpacked) that Komplete downloader (and Kontakt Library page) says. Just as an example: Kontakt Factory Library is announced to be 34GB, but after download and installation it's just 24GB. I can't believe that lost 10 GB of 34 is just a 'mistake'... So, what am I missing?
    Thanks!

    Which Komplete version exactly?

    Since Komplete 9 the library files are compressed so they need less hard drive space: www.native-instruments.com/en/support/knowledge-base/show/1059/why-are-the-komplete-9-libraries-smaller-than-their-equivalents-from-earlier-komplete-versions/

    Komplete 10 and size is almost the same for downloaded archive and unpacked library. I don't think 10Gb of 34 can be result of compression.
    NI announces Kontakt library as 43Gb of samples minus Retro Machines - 5Gb, download separately - it have to be around 35Gb. Downloader shows this Factory library as 34Gb, but when download starts it changes to 24Gb and same size remains after installation.

    Same situation with other Komplete sample libraries I've downloaded. They seem to be working, but smaller in size.
