the developer is about to have a MASSIVE hosting bill
the download restarts from 0% if the app is sent to the background, as there does not seem to be a download manager. This is especially problematic for the large 1.5gb file.
I am using Cloudflare R2, which doesn't have egress fee and I am getting about 5k Class B operations right now. Unless Cloudflare changes their end of the deal, I think it is OK.
great to hear! please consider introducing a mechanism to suspend the download vs restarting, this may be especially valuable for those with a slower connection. With the traffic growth you'll be seeing chances are Cloudflare's enterprise team will soon be in-touch ;)
Is P2P torrent type of sharing the load possible under AppStore guidelines (be they iOS or Android)? I've honestly never even thought about this being a thing, but with large shared data that doesn't change, why not?
P2P, as in hosted from other people's phones? I think the issue is that people generally wouldn't be happy with P2P data uploads from their phones (compared to P2P on desktop, where internet is cheaper/faster, and battery isn't an issue).
