The early blocks were bigger because that's when the CLAMs were given out to all the BTC, LTC, and DOGE addresses.

My blk0001.dat file in the .clam folder is 154,029,202 bytes - so if you have 100 MB you're two thirds of the way there, by byte count.

well... I checked my blk0001.dat file and it's only 30,611,464 bytes
that's why I wonder why it's using so much data transfer (100MB) but only worth 30MB of blockchain data
and I only run the clam-qt connected to the net, not browsing or chatting or anything at the same time
it seems my client inefficiently re-downloading already downloaded block data

almost on every accepted new best chain, there always 4 or 5 messages with that error processblock
anyway to minimize this to save my bandwidth & resynch faster?
or is that how the peer-to-peer connection work and no way to avoid that?

edit: a little update, past block 10,000 the synching becomes faster by looking at the number of blocks downloaded
however if I added up all the data transfer so far, it totalled to 600MB just to download a 150MB worth of blockchain Cry

oh yeah someone won a lottery again 663.74264776 block 86690
