I don't know the exact dependencies per Indy component. There are loads
of components. ;-)  But I would guess your assumption for Delphi applies
to Lazarus too.

Indy isn't too big though. I took a look at my copy. The source code
zipped is 7.5MB. Uncompressed that equates to 16MB.

I used Git to clone the whole SVN Trunk history, and that equated to
44MB.  Lazarus and FPC repositories are *much* larger. :)

Any further repository updates will be very small (normally only patch
deltas are copied) - compared to a whole new download. So I highly
recommend you do a 'svn co' or 'git svn clone' and it will save you lots
of bandwidth for future updates.
