That was not my experience, at least for very large files (100+ GB). There was a workaround (that has since been patched) where you could link files into your own Google drive and circumvent the bandwidth restriction that way. The current workaround is to link the files into a directory and then download the directory containing the link as an archive, which does not count against the bandwidth limit.

I see. I never had to download such large files from Drive. For files up to 10Gb I never had any issue though.
