Client device need to download content.

This should be resumable, if it gets cancelled/disconnected in the middle.
The server generates required compressed files for download and send link to client
Apache support partial downloads. So, clients make requests on chunks, based on speed.. more details here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18084677/determine-if-server-supports-resume-get-request

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpHead httpRequest = new HttpHead("http://www.google.com");
httpRequest.addHeader(new BasicHeader("Range", "bytes=10-20"));

The server can also decide on how many chunks it would be, based on connection info given by client

Another idea to transfer data is to compress into a file, split into chunks of say 100KB on the server itself, let the client download this chunks, and then join them back, deflate on the client
