# Large File Delivery

Shipping a 50 GB game patch, a new release of desktop software, firmware for a million devices or a 140 GB model checkpoint creates a wave of downloads within hours. This section is for game backend leads, release engineers, DevOps and platform teams, embedded and IoT engineers, and ML infrastructure teams who need those waves to finish fast without overloading the origin.

Articles cover patch and delta distribution, launcher and installer delivery, OTA and firmware updates, package and container registries, model weights and datasets, multipart and resumable downloads with range requests, and checksum verification. They also look at the cost side, since a single launch can move hundreds of terabytes. For game-specific topics, see [gaming and esports](https://blog.blazingcdn.com/gaming-esports?hsLang=en).
