Early in Wikipedia’s history, in August 2003, the database was roughly 16 GB and uploaded images and media files took another gigabyte or so. In February 2003 it was about 4 GB. By April 2004, this had grown to about 57 GB, and was growing at about 1 to 1.4 GB per week, and by October 2004, it had grown to about 170 GB. This includes all languages and support tables but not images and multimedia.
