Description
There are videos on youtube and reports on Telegram where people ran into system misbehaving due to running out of free space while installing apps from HaikuDepot. They were unable to identify the problem because there was no direct indication in the GUI. I guess HaikuDepot should warn user if there is not enough space.

Good idea. When HDS synchronizes the data from a remote repo, it will also do an HTTP
HEADrequest on the package data to find out its size. It then stores this size of the package payload in its database and (as-built) provides that on the API as well as the bulk fetch of package data. So this would actually be quite possible to achieve.
