Hmm, looks like an edge case if it retries chunks or something. I'll have to investigate.

Edit: can you replicate it every download and with other games?

Thanks, will investigate. May already be fixed in v0.4.0 fortunately, we've fixed and updated a lot of the download code.

I'm running into this with games in 7z archives on the Linux client. Noticing that if I 7z l one of the archives, some of the files have an empty "Compressed" size column, and all of the games I am noticing this with have spaces in the paths inside the archives. Might this be related to https://github.com/Drop-OSS/droplet/issues/10?

Can you try the new RCs and see if this issue is fixed? It now has a distinction between download and install size, which may also be useful.
