I want to download the ESO beta but it is 20gb. I only have 10gb left for the month. If I download the game will it be 20gb of data?

Probably not, depends on the method used for compressing the install files. But be carful with an online game, their stream is data, I found this out with Silent Hunter Online when I got warnings from my provider that I went over my limit. If you havent gone over your limit in the past or at least not for a while I don't think you'll have to much trouble if you DL this though.

Good Luck.

If The Setup File Says 20GB That Means You Used 20GB Of Data.
You Should Check The Setup File Size Not The Game Size After Installing It.

For Example a 4GB Setup Files Can Expand To 15GB After Installing But You Only Used 4GB Of Data. Hope It Helps
