Dear Gregory,

 

I would like to ask, when can we expect the range support for downloading? (partial download)

 

Now if i have for example 4 video file, and all with 500MB length, and if i want to peek into these video files to get their codec, or other metadata, i am forced to download 2GB data instead of ~2KB!!! That is insane... I can't believe it.
