Why is the Uploadnow file 10.4GB, but the Uploadhaven is 9.7GB?
Same file size, difference in byte counting/display. Technically you could say Uploadnow is 10.4 Gigabytes and Uploadhaven is 9.7 Gibibytes

The giga prefix in SI/metric is typically 10^9. However, since computers operate in binary and not decimal systems sometimes they refer to file size in binary. So your kilobyte is not 1000 bytes as the metric prefix would imply, but 1024 bytes, or 2^10 bytes instead. For disambiguation these changes sometimes get denoted as "kibi" (kilo-binary) "mebi" "gibi" etc instead of "kilo" "mega" "giga" etc. But that often won't show on download sites. as the abbreviation for both is just going to be KB/MB/GB
