Need help with launcher

Yesterday, my game crashed, when I restarted the game the launcher started validating the files but only for 39Gb+ I was wondering why not all of them but then I noticed it started redownloading them I was annoyed but then I said as long as the game start again I'm fine. Couple hours after, another patch was downloading then another and another. Currently I lost track of how many patches has been download it, I made a mistake but closing my PC at night I didn't expect all these files to be downloaded.

My question is that normal? Did the launcher redownload the entire game? and if so why is the files are put in different patch?
The most important question is validating the files actually? works from what I experienced it looked like the game when validating files compare them to the original games files that should have been patched for years if so validating the game actually mean re-downloading it?

    I’m no expert but from my experience ESO can do some pretty weird stuff in this regard. I’d just let it finish whatever it’s doing then see if you get an error message when you try to play. From the error message you’ll probably be able to work out what, if anything, has went wrong and get a fix for it.

    Thank you it actually finished soon after I posted but at one point I really started to worry since it looked like it may be running in circle : different patches with similar sizes, but I guess the launcher just re-downloaded the entire game.
