For the Win32 installer that would be my fault (and also for the Win32 zip files). When I added these two for 1.3.0 on the download page I took the size from sf.net. The reason was simply that I didn't know sf.net used 1000 instead of 1024 to compute the size, and I didn't check the file size myself.
And I agree with you that it would probably be better to use 1024 and therefore to change the size on the download page.
