I know and it drives me crazy. "Bigger" and "smaller" express differences, not fractions or multiples.

If I say "image A is 1 MB, image B is 30 times bigger", what is the size of B? I don't think many would respond "31 MB". If you consider it improper to use "bigger" in this way to express a multiple, how would you express that?
