Looking at my add/remove programs list today, I noticed that GOG.com Downloader version 3.0.52 is registering as 26.0 GB. Should it be that size/why is it that huge? Thank you!

Mine's 3.0.51 and is showing 1.93mb. Going to update it, but it shouldn't be that big!

Edit: After updating it still says 1.93 mb.
I have no games that are listed in my installer. Could that be why it's saying so much?

Maybe it shows the size of what you downloaded with it?

I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, and now it says 32.9 GB. However, I checked how much of my drive was full before and after, and it's really in the MB range. So it must be registering how much I've downloaded with it. I still find that weird, however.

Try moving the download folder to somewhere else. Windows Uninstall routine does count the whole folder, not just the files installed with it, so if you are downloading in one of the folders created by the downloader you will be seeing more space than the downloader itself is using. Think of it as a 50 MB game that has 300 MB saves in the same location, Windows Uninstall will report it using 350 MB, not 50 MB.

Ah, that makes sense. I don't mind it registering as bigger than it actually is as long as I know why, haha. Thank you!
