There is a 200MB file size limit currently. wormhole cli doesn't seem to have a file size limit, I can transfer 20GB file. Is it possible to increase the file size limit for the web client?

Thank you for you interest @HuakunShen.

Quoting a someone with more knowledge about this, the limit exists for a good reason:

because of browser APIs, the receiver needs to hold the entire contents of the file in memory at some point.

The FAQ will be update via #170 to better explain this.
