When using qBitTorrent to download Linux ISOs, I am seeing that the total size of the download is one thing, then the total downloaded when complete exceeds (sometimes by almost double) that size.

For example:

Size           Downloaded  
900MB            1.56GB
1.6GB            1.91GB

Why is that thing?

    doesnt hurt th check the hash against what the distributor publishes.
