How big is "too big" for a javascript file

Viewed 14002

With all the awesome jQuery plug-ins out there, it's so tempting to just start including them all over the place to enhance the look of our website.

I'm looking for some opinions on whether and when I should be concerned about the sizes of these scripts.

Assume they're being cached on the web server level, so I guess the potential concerns are on bandwidth for the scripts being served from the web server, as well as performance on the client browser that needs to download all these scripts.
