You can see the same behavior on flatpak itself. The download size is
often much larger than actual size.
I think the gnome software can't have better values till the flatpak
itself figures this out.

I'm finding a weak pattern when source is
dl.flathub.org. A
significant minority of
dl.flathub.org apps report rather huge
download sizes, and two or three orders magnitude smaller installation
size. I'm not seeing this for other sources, even for the same app. A
sample:
atom

Is this a known bug? If not, what information is needed to file a bug
report? I can't imagine downloading this much data for one app, but
then it ends up not really needing this much storage space? That
doesn't seem possible.
Thanks,
