Hi,
the "Update Portable Apps" dialog (Apps > Check For Updates) estimates a download size of 120MB, which seems consistent with previous updates iirc.
After clicking the Install button, the "Downloading and Installing" dialog shows 410911kB (which equals 401MB).
As I found that weird, I cancelled the download to try again. Same thing.
I looked at the download url shown in the error dialog and I noticed it ended with "_chrome_installer_uncompressed.exe", which may explain the size.
Has it always been this way? Is it normal?

Google is switching back and forth between compressed and uncompressed for releases on Stable 32, Stable 64, Beta 64, and Dev 64 for some reason. There's no real rhyme or reason for it. You'd have to ask them.
I've updated the listed download and install sizes for all 4 within the PA.c Platform and on their respective homepages.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
