This includes other failures, such as power outages. I don't think we have range requests enabled for the longer-lived packfile-uri, but we shall see if adoption of bundle URIs presents more motivation to build that feature. Case (1) will be the easiest to consider, and I agree that it would be more generally useful. Thanks, -Stolee
