I just have normal home internet and there is just no way to download a 50gig (or 2 gig) file in one go

“Normal” home internet shouldn’t have any problem downloading 50 GB files. I download games larger than this multiple times a week.

Well then read it “shitty rural internet.” Use context clues.

  Which context clues should I be using to blame your “shitty rural internet” on Google?

Yeah, of course it varies place to place but I think for the majority of at least somewhat developed countries and urban areas in less developed countries 50Mbps is a reasonable figure for “normal home internet” - even at 25Mbps you’re looking at 4½ hours for 50GB which is very doable if you leave it going while you’re at work or just in the background over the course of an evening

  That’s fair but also not Google’s fault.

    The part that is Google’s fault is that they limit the number of download attempts and the files expire after 1 week. That should be clear form the post.
