Unreal engine download infinite space.

I have been trying to download the engine for an entire week.
It says it’s a 23gb file. But I’ve downloaded 200gb twice now.
The downloaded fills the entire drive, then errors saying it only needs 18gbs more space. Or some odd number.
I’ve removed the folder and Uninstalled the program, and reinstall it. Same issue.

I am running win10 from a HP laptop. And installing it on an external ssd.

Thank you.

Bump

Am I missing something?
I’ve had 2 uninstall the launcher itself. Which made me redow all of my games.
After downloading all of my games I re attempted to download the engine. For which it took up a 120 GB of space.

Is there a proper support contact I can actually use?
I was forwarded here by the actual support team.
