My question is: how hard would it be to download specific ranges of bytes from a remote repository (given start/end cursors)? -Given that git annex can resume interrupted downloads, I assume there is already some code for readings bytes from a remote, starting a specific position in the file. +Given that git annex can resume interrupted downloads, I assume there is already some code for readings bytes from a remote, starting from specific positions in a file.
