Phpbb Takes Up 15mb - on its website it says it only uses 1mb

I just installed PHP with the fantastico thing in the control panel of my hosting account and noticed that it was takingup 15mb of the space. now on the phpbb website the full package for the website is under 1mb. so whats going on here?
Notice from cmatcmextra:
PLEASE USE DESCRIPTIVE TOPIC TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS
It could just simply be an error when counting the amount of megabytes used up. That happens sometimes. It shouldn't effect the amount of space cpanel will give you to store your files though....
PhpBB is only 660kb compressed ... but it will be a lot more uncompressed. 15 MB sounds quite excessive, as I think mine is only 4/5 MB. You can always download it from the phpbb.com, it's extremely easy to install.
Yeah i did that but uploading all the files is so tedius and even though i have a fast connection its not so fast because there are so many file but their all small so it cant really get the flow going right.
I just wanna mention Fantastico has a serious problem with The sizes of all those stuff.
Then don't upload them all at once. Upload the phpBB zip file, then once uploaded, click on the zip file text (not the zip icon) and click Extract File Contents. I haven't tried it myself but it should unzip the files for you
It ocuppies a lot of space because it contains all the language pack. So that's the explanation. If you want you could FTP your server, go to phpBB's forum and deletes the languages that you don't need from the languages folder.
My website was working fine, then when I tried to access it on Core FTP Lite (to upload files) Core
FTP couldnt connect (i've changed my password, but forgot to change it on Core FTP). I
disconnected from Core FTP to try and change my password, but then it couldn't re-connect, and
my website has gone down. Everytime I try and go on, I get the "The page cannot be displayed. The
page you are looking for is currently unavailable." page. However, it is only me who's getting
this....and I can't log in using FTP or access the Cpanel Any help?...
2 problems! a) how do i update my website??? like if i make changes to the code of say my
index.html page, how do i make these changes take place on the website online?? /cool.gif"
style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> how come my ftp uploads my
files to a file under my public_html folder but also under a folder with my user name
(public_html/username ) ??? this makes it so the url of my site isnt www.abc.trap17.com anymore
but www.abc.trap17.com/username/ ---- this makes no sence!!...
My website is still down and its been about 3-4 days since it has been down. Im just curious to know
whats going on. Also my hosting credits are still going down while the site is down so is there any
way I can get reinbursed for them? Thanks. The site is: http://www.ageofilluminati.com/ Here is
the other url: http://www.childrenofconan.trap17.com ...
I was reading some of these messages in this forum and I noticed that I had heard some of them
before and when I thought about where I believe it was copied directly from a religious tract
(little hand outs that Christians use to spread their faith) I know that if you copy/paste from a
website it is against trap17's rules but what about this? It is the same thing, plagiarism (tho
technically they most likely have the rights to copy it in any way possible but it still is not
their own writing) Please note I have nothing against Christians or the whole spreading your...
Dear sir, my hosting application is already approved. I want to install phpbb 3.0 forum. Please

Hey there all. Trap17 seems like a great website for free hosting and seems to have a great
community behind it. Anyway I was reading through the terms and conditions before signing up to
these forums and I've also been reading the stickies here and there. I think I've come
across some conflicting rules. One sticky mentions that each host credit you obtain equates to the
number of days you can stay inactive on the forums. On the other hand the terms and conditions of
registering to this website clearly mention that: QUOTE * Stay active (suspension): Once a u...
Okay, well, I let my account lapse for a little while (which I have done in the past as well) and
after getting more hosting credits it usually comes back within a day. Well, I let it lapse like
.03 credits accidentally about a week ago, and I've been posting every day and I'm back in
the positive, but my website has yet to come back so I was just wondering why? Thanks, Cangor...

I edited something in the index to test my sight, its been 15 minutes and still no effect. any one
can check it for me? www.blockwars.trap17.com. Do you get the normal page you get when you sign up
or do you get something different?...
Lets say I make a game, can i put credits here as a reward? or is that against rules or policy.
Example: 1st prize in contest x : 50 credits in trap17 this is a small post but it is not spam

URGENT !! Thanks RGPHNX...

Got a quick question. A while ago installed the phpBB forum software via Fantastico (cpanel). If I
want to remove it manually, what steps do I need in order for me to do so without causing any
problems. If you could advise me on this, or otherwise provide a link, that would be helpful.
Many thanks in advance!...

I think it would be a good Idea for people who are willing to just post there web address. People
would check it out more and also learn a little more about TRAP 17. I dont even know what web
addresses look like. For instance I am going to try a free account soon and see if I should stay
with TRAP 17. Now what is my free account going to look like. Will it be (www.website.trap17.com) or
a real web address (www.website.com). Anyway it would also be good just to be able to check out
other websites. I surf the web mostly for new toys\software and places to buy things a...
Hello, I have a little GREAT problem. My website is down and itīs my fault. I was trying to make
some php panels to update my website without using DW/FTP. A friend is helping me and we talk by
mails. He told me that I had to give write permissions to "images" folder in order to upload images
from my HD to the FTP. So I did it and I saw that didnīt work, so I had the terrible idea (on my
own) to prove that with "www" folder. Iīm using WS_FTP and I went to "www" and did
right-button->chmod. I put some adittional permissions just to try and soon I discovered that my web
