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

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.

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.

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?
