I agree with this! Gemini isn't suited for big downloads. But, (and I
realize this is very speculative) I think it's very plausible and even
likely that what is "big" will change, perhaps substantially, over
time. We've definitely seen that happen with average file sizes of
say, images, over the past few decades.

A decade ago I would have wanted resumability for a couple hundred MB
download. Now I don't even give it a second thought!
