From 66 MB to 83 MB. That's an hefty increase in size. What warrants it?

TL;DR it actually isn't: try restarting the SDK manager and/or looking at the actual size on disk
It seems that there's a weird quirk with the SDK manager where the size of a newly downloaded SDK is reported with a larger number immediately after it's downloaded, as opposed to when the SDK manager is restarted after the download.
I think in the first case, the reported "size on disk" is the same as the "size to download". But in the second case, the "size on disk" is smaller.
I just downloaded 6.3.1 on Mac.
Before restarting SDK manager, 6.3.1 appears to be 18 MB bigger than 6.3.0:
After restarting SDK manager, 6.3.1 and 6.3.0 appear to be roughly the same size:
Funnily enough, the actual size on disk of the SDK is bigger than either of those numbers:
Note that for me, the roughly 1 MB size difference between 6.3.1 and 6.3.0 can be explained by the fact that I made a copy of one of the SDK samples in 6.3.0. In fact, both SDKs are basically the same size.
I've seen the same thing on Windows.
Thanks, yeah, I reloaded the SDK Manager and it's back at the same 66 MB as 6.3.0 and only 1 MB bigger than 6.2.x
Indeed. Looks like they go by the size of the bin directory, but in MB / 1000000 instead of 1048576 (since 66264089 is 64 MB)..
Looking at a very different sized SDK, 4.2.2, it holds true. SDK Manager says 83 MB and its bin directory size is 83 652 097. You can count on Garmin to make simple things look weird lol.
