Installing Xcode 11.5 from Appstore requires multiple downloads ?

I get a behavior I never experienced before when updating XCode from 11.4.1 to 11.5 from Appstore.

I'm using a MBP, MacOS 10.15.4.


- When update starts, system indicates (in Launchpad )a download of 2.03 GB (!?! Not 8 GB)

- After download, installation starts (or seem to start).

- After a minute or so, a new download starts, this time announced as 8.09 GB.


Note:

I also tried to download from downloads/more.

I get a full download (of 8.12 GB), even though the file is labelled (on the web page) as 7.5 GB for then xip file.

In these cases, my habit in the past has always been to not bother with the running joke that is the MAS, and go right over to More - I see Xcode 11.5 there already, so... I don't worry about update process then, rather just fall back into a manual process.
