Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Especially for big datasets like [LAION](https://huggingface.co/datasets/laion/laion2B-en/), it's hard to know exactly the downloaded size (because there are many files and you don't have their exact size when downloaded).

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Auto-populating the downloaded dataset size on the dataset page would be really useful, including that of each split (when there are some).

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
People should be adding this to dataset cards, but I don't think that is systematically the case :slightly_smiling_face:

**Additional context**
