We have already seen that the trend is to see super-linear growth in paper sizes over time, so we start with this caveat in mind.    Collecting the disk sizes in each paper directory, we see a rough average \textbf{average  size of $\approx 50$ MB MB}  per arXiv paper, with a variance from the tens \textbf{a minimum  of kilobytes several KB}  to a maximum \textbf{maximum of  $5.1$ GB, GB},  as of end of May, 2015. You can play with the detailed paper size dataset in the below active figure.
