I've got a pretty much complete set and it's about 20GB.

Just select the range you need as it suggests,and you can always add more by re-running the installer.

The other good thing about using astrotortilla with its astrometry.net install is if you use Sequence Generator Pro you can tell it to use a local astrometry.net install for plate solving rather than the internet version so you can still blind solve when away from a connection

The version of astrometry.net that comes with AT is fairly old. If you want a current version you'll need to download the source from subversion at http://astrometry.net/svn/trunk/src/ (or git if Dustin has got around to moving it) and build your own copy with Cygwin.
