Oh, it's a compressed dmg. The app bundles weigh in at 321M each, and  
there are 2 of them. I've made 2 dmg's, which I'm uploading now, which  
are 108M each. That should ease the downloading.

Charles is right that aqbanking adds a lot of weight:
	libaqbanking.dylib		33M
	aqbanking plugins		50M
	libgwenhyfar.dylib		2.5M
	Qt Frameworks			39M
	aqbanking data			13M
					====
					148M

Other major contributors:
	GTK+				32M
	gnucash plugins			20M
	libosp.dylib (OpenSP)		13M
	gnucash data			12M
	gnucash docs			11M
	gnome help			11M
	gnucash translations		 8M
					===
					107M

Gnucash's dependencies.
