So I'm currently downloading this season and notice the files are a bit larger then stated on page. Like episode 2 says 591.2 but after I download it it is 620. I have a terrible data plan these things add up sadly, any idea why its more then listed after I dl it or is it just mislabeled? Thanks.

Hello, that file exact size is 619,960,682 bytes.
According to disk sizing, 1024 bytes = 1 kilobytes, and 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabytes. So 619,960,682 bytes / 1024 / 1024 = 591.2 megabytes.
But according data transfer size 1000 bytes = 1 kilobytes and 1000 kilobytes = 1 megabytes, so 619,960,682 bytes / 1000 / 1000 = ~620 megabytes.

You can search bytes to kilobytes for more information about this. And yes it's a marketing strategy to charge more for mobile data (or to show more HDD space, as HDD producers also use this to slightly increase their labeled disk size).
