I got the patching error and had to delete and re download, mine went from 46gb to 69gb after reinstalling, but the download was definitely compressed as it was only like 28gb when it Dl'd

Pretty much this. Its ~1k or so MBs to make 1 GB. (give or take 100mbs) I approximate more nowadays. So 61XXmbs = 6.1 GBs (in my best approximation.)
