Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 23.0.2
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Linux 3.10.0-1160.59.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache/2.4.52, nginx 1.20.2 (PHP-FPM 7.4)
PHP version (eg, 7.4): 7.4.28

The issue you are facing:

I wanna know how to make downloads resumable. Downloads in Nextcloud are not resumable which is a shame nowerdays, so maybe there is a setting or something to change, that will allow users to resume downloads

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

Just download a big file 2GB or larger and you can’t resume the download if you abort it or it is aborted due a network problem

enhancement 1. to develop high feature: dav feature: files

Hi, I have developed the resuming of chunked uploads in android. Currently I st…ore the upload id and the successful chunks. With these infos I can skip the successful parts and just upload the remaining ones. To simplify the client code I thought of this: - use a reproducable id and not random id as now - allow to get the current successfull chunks as a list With both enhancement the client does not need to store any information about the upload.
