Downloading large video Files
I am planning to storing large video files on GitHub and is looking for guidance on how to optimize the user experience for downloading these large files off GitHub.
Is there any way to make the files smaller on the upload, cloning the repo, or if there was another platform/service we could consider ?
Thanks,

Version large files—even those as large as a couple GB in size—with Git.

a. You abuse the service - it is not designed to be a free storage space for you to deliver large traffic.
b. It has physical limits - up to 25 MB web upload, maximum 100 MB, and total account cannot exceed 1GB. https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-my-disk-quota/
c. Your performance will be sub-optimal.
So I suggest that you find another place to store videos for free, or even that you actually pay a few bucks. Amazon S3 costs a few cents a month per GB.
