It all depends on the packages you download. One small library can contain dozens of dependencies.
You didn't write anything specific. It's one thing when you download the left packages, install and wonder how much weight. Another thing is when you install your blank and, instead of the usual 15 kilobytes, 115 kilobytes arrived. Then yes, something strange and it’s worth checking the package docks, it’s exactly written there why ten times more weight
