Size Difference

I'm just curious, but what is the reason behind the drivers from the Nvidia website are bigger than those found here. For example, I'm looking at the GeForce Release 178.13 for Vista 32-bit on the Nvidia site and the size of the driver is 86.9 MB. Then I look at what seems to be the same driver here, the size is 33.96MB. Why is there so much of a difference?

Nvidia drivers has the Physx driver with the video driver. It is removed and zipped smaller to host on server here.

The drivers here are 7-zipped. 7-zip is wonderful for reducing filesizes. The reason that the extracted file (from here) is bigger is that we distribute the International version rather than the US English version. This has more files in it.
