I am confused, how is this number calculated?

Because the authors mentioned package, Helmet[1], is 103KB uncompressed and has had 132 versions in 13 years. Meaning downloading every Helmet version uncompressed would result in 132*103KB = 13.7MB.

I feel like I must be missing something really obvious.

Edit: Oh it's 2GB/year across all installations.
