The exact same thing applies to online reinstall of the macos. If your network has even the slightest jitter, you download the whole 10gb from the start. It was blowing my mind that there is a download manager/system, in 2024, can't even resume download a file after encounter network problem. Come on, you really shouldn't assume everybody have a perfect network that can just download a file from 0% to 100% without problem. That is almost a dream in a office room with shit tons of 2.4g / 5g devices.
I'm similarly amazed when I'm downloading something from Google Drive and I get jitter -- Google Drive does not support restarting, so if it's a 10GB file, here we go again from the beginning.
What is it with these huge corps missing the simple stuff?
