The Solaris "ON" (OS & Networking) source is 60.14 MB compressed ;-)  
You can download it from http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/ 
or from the other sites mentioned in 
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on/#tarfiles.

I think it would be good if you could narrow your interest areas to 
start with - the OS is such a large system it's virtually impossible to 
master everything in it. Look at 
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/communities/#all and pick a few areas that 
interest you the most and start with those. You can also browse the Open 
Solaris source online here http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/ (the 
"onnv" source is what you want).

Good luck!
