This is related to [1] (Use case) and [2] (Reduced test case) This is about retrieving a large file with partial data and storing it in an incremental way in indexedDB. Instead of maintaining an incremented Blob, the real use case is retrieving the Blob from indexedDB, doing new Blob([Blob, chunk]) and storing it again in indexedDB, for each chunk, decreasing performances even more. Of course you could wait for having the complete Blob and store it, but that's not something very realistic, if you are streaming a 500 MB file and an error occurs most likely you would prefer to resume the download rather than restarting from the begining. This seems not efficient at all, was it never discussed the possibility to be able to append data directly in indexedDB?
