The WiiShop for buying and downloading software for the Wii console lists both the monetary cost (in Wii points) and the download size (in blocks), so I have a feeling with the popularity of the Wii console that buying something free (as is the case with the Nintendo provided channels that appear when you start up the Wii) is something most people can understand. It would just involve listing monetary cost and size for everything in general instead of changing the cost meaning based on if something doesn't cost any money.

Replace "Add to basket" by "Add to computer".
wouldn't that look as if it got installed right away? I admittedly liked that add to basket, and then "check-out" means install. Some mouse-over could explain what the things really do.
However I think there is a line between using a known metaphor to teach something new on one side and trying to be funny while in reality it's just confusing on the other.
I'm still undecided wether it's weird or cool to create a shop for something free :)
Maybe it's more like a pot-luck party, a buffet, where you can pick and choose your favourite meals. With that, "Users who choose this one also liked that one" still makes sense, yet you still have the two steps select what you want and then actually ingest it (to the system).
