Having something like Bitbucket's [Media Adapter](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/bitbucket-lfs-media-adapter-856699998.html) 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. ### Proposal Implement these features in Gitlab ### Links / references - https://hackernoon.com/git-in-2016-fad96ae22a15#.hp8yuwu0b - https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/bitbucket-lfs-media-adapter-856699998.html
