This seems like a bad idea, we already do:
dirstat = os.statvfs(po.repo.pkgdir)
if (dirstat.f_bavail * dirstat.f_bsize) <= long(po.size):
adderror(po, _('Insufficient space in download directory %s\n'
" * free %s\n"
" * needed %s") %
...which is done as we download each package. I'm not sure exactly what
feature you want, but I assume something like doing the above check
before we download anything based on "expected total download size" and
then maybe removing some space from what we count as "free"?
