The software setup file is pretty small. But if you are talking about the blockchain file, in my PC it's 33.1GB.

The wallet is self (.exe etc ... ) is small but once you run it it starts synchronizing with the network and downloading the blockchain file which should take more then 30GB .

Along with the blockchain being really big remember its only growing with more blocks.

For day-to-day use, you can just install lightweight wallet like mutibit. It has got faster start time and very little hdd space demand.

use some light-weight wallet(electrum) or online wallet(blockchain) it's more convenient.

Unless you are a developer, want to help the network or just want to use the features in Bitcoin Core, a lightweight client would do the job of sending and receiving Bitcoin just fine. Make sure that the lightweight client that you are going to use is opensourced though.

while it is 31 GB right now you have to keep in mind that the blockchain size will grow over time, soon we are looking at 40 GB and more. if you have a problem with this size like me, you can choose a lightweight wallet like Electrum or multibit

From https://btc.blockr.io/charts, the blockchain size is growing at roughly 56MB a day (~140 blocks a day * ~400KB average block size), so you should prepare to see the size go up 20 GB a year.

The space should be reduced once blockchain pruning is implemented. With data storage technologies being advanced at a fast rate, HDD are relatively cheap now, it is possible to get 1TB HDD at less than $100.

if you have problem downloading the blockchain, you can download the bootstrap torrent file from bitcoin.org here is the link: https://bitcoin.org/en/download at the bottom of the page

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.
