Well, it was remade for Windows. That's the version you download. It might be why it's so big.

Rockstar Games has come up with the great idea to add Grand Theft Auto to their Classics list. Not only that, but now it has also been released as free download! The game has been altered to be played on the latest systems with the newer platforms such as Windows XP.
I think the bolded text is the reason why it's so much bigger. I'm not sure, though.

By the way: did you get the game from freeloader.com?
