For Fedora 8, per arch, at this moment that would be:

$ du -sch fedora-unity/releases/8/Everything/x86_64/ \
fedora-unity/updates/8/x86_64/

19G     fedora-unity/releases/8/Everything/x86_64/
5.0G    fedora-unity/updates/8/x86_64/
24G     total

minus the updates in the normal tree already:

$ du -sch fedora/releases/8/Everything/x86_64/ fedora/updates/8/x86_64/
19G     fedora/releases/8/Everything/x86_64/
3.9G    fedora/updates/8/x86_64/
23G     total

For Fedora 7, per arch, that'd be:

$ du -sch fedora-unity/releases/7/Everything/x86_64/ \
fedora-unity/updates/7/x86_64/

16G     fedora-unity/releases/7/Everything/x86_64/
18G     fedora-unity/updates/7/x86_64/
34G     total

again minus the updates in the tree already:

$ du -sch fedora/releases/7/Everything/x86_64/ fedora/updates/7/x86_64/
16G     fedora/releases/7/Everything/x86_64/
13G     fedora/updates/7/x86_64/
28G     total

So, roughly, 12GB per release per arch, not taking into account the ever 
growing number of packages.

Kind regards,
