The miniconda bootstrap of conda is ~20-30 MB (compressed) depending on platform. It contains only conda and its dependencies, like python and requests. It's how you install conda if you want only conda. The 400 MB number is for the Anaconda Distribution, which is a self contained, single-install, get-all package primarily aimed at scientists and engineers.
