I know the exact size:

Infinite.

When I was in the university I was downloading many things at the
night,  while the whole internet bandwith was wasted (hehehehe).
Many times my  wget -r -l 32  got stuck on things like CGI's that
point to itself creating a infinite loop. This was in 2002, but
probably still exist many CGI's like this one.

I imagine spider programmers have many fun similar histories, of
websites that seems "infinite" to the spider.
