CHUNK TRANSFER PROTOCOL
How Telegram Uploads 4 GB Files in Encrypted Chunks
Under MTProto, large files are divided into sequential cryptographic parts to ensure zero corruption:
grain
512 KB Part Slicing: 4 GB files are chunked into up to 8,000 independent 512 KB packets transmitted over parallel multiplexed TCP/HTTP connections.
replay
Fault-Tolerant Resumption: If your network drops at 3.8 GB, Telegram resumes from the exact missing chunk without re-uploading the preceding bytes.
lock
Client-Side Hashing: Each chunk carries a SHA-256 integrity verification hash verified by Telegram servers prior to cloud persistence.
