v.1.9.2 MAS installment reloads installation

[v_kyr]

AppStore MAS Installment:

the MAS update under El Capitan here indicates for v.1.9.2 a 355 MB download. It starts the download of 355 MB and after that when it reaches the state to install,  during installation, shortly before finishing installing it says "wait" and then reinitiates a new download of 708 MB. - So one always downloads 355 MB and then continously another additionally 708 MB here (aka 355 + 708 MB all in all)! - The same happens for the Photo installment. - BTW, I've seen this same behavior also previously for the v1.9.1 Mac AppStore updates!

So the overall behavior here is always, MAS starts the update by downloading first a lower overall file size of 355MB and installs it. But shortly before finishing the 355 MB installment, it autoresets and reinitiates a new huger 708 MB download which it then installs!

See this screencast showing the above said in short too ...

Hi v_kyr,

Unfortunately we have no control over what is downloaded from the Mac App Store. We submit the app to Apple, and the actual update part is handled by them/the app store.

What's the size of the actual v1.9.2 update you place on MAS? - I wonder the two different sizes from MAS here in one update process, the first is smaller like being probably a diff first, the second then is like a full download again. - Or it downloads first an older initial version (lower size) from MAS and then during installation recognizes that it is an older version and then autoresets to download the actual full version instead.
