While reading this excellent article, https://hackernoon.com/git-in-2016-fad96ae22a15#.hp8yuwu0b, I came upon the Custom Transfer Adapters section. Having something like Bitbucket's Media Adapter would be very nice.

Features:

Resumable uploads and downloads – Continue where you left off and say goodbye to unreliable file up- or downloads.
Chunking – Instead of choking on large files they are chunked into smaller pieces.
Increased parallelism – Chunks of large files are transferred in parallel to make your uploads and downloads faster.
De-duplication – When changing large files only the changed chunks are uploaded, skipping all chunks that remain the same.
Same workflow – Continue to work as usual with Git LFS, no need to change.

Implement these features in Gitlab
