Thanks, that's an interesting question. tus so far is focussed on solving the problem of unreliable file uploads. Bandwidth is like you said smaller, and there's a risk that if the upload breaks, the content will never make it to "the internet". Whereas typically, downloads profit from higher bandwidth, and can be retried at any time because they already are on highly available server infra.
I think HTTP/1.1 should allow you to retry where you left off using the Range header. And I think this can also be used to download parallel chunks. I think programs such as GetRight 😱 or aria2
used to leverage this since the very early days already.
While I agree that leaves something to be desired regarding e.g. checksums and standardization, I also think the status quo is much less problematic - and it's probably not worth complicating our protocol and all its implementations over. With a dash of more certainty I can say: at least not for the 1.0.
Welcoming other thoughts though
from tus-resumable-upload-protocol.
We had this discussion previously and came to the conclusion that tus (currently) focuses on providing a solution for upload and not download content. I can't add a lot to @kvz's response since he mentioned all the relevant points. :)
