Download a dat from the browser #560

Open okdistribute opened 7 years ago

okdistribute commented 7 years ago

It'd be nice to be able to download a dat directly from the browser (as a zip) without making the other user download anything. Found this out through user testing.

However, what are our bandwidth costs associated with this? When does it break things?

note that back in the webrtc transport we did have this, by having the client create a zip on the fly from the archive content retrieved from hyperdrive.

Yeah, it did it in memory on the client side so it was capped at a certain maximum IIRC, like 500 mb max.
