question re downloading to a smartphone

Given the wide diversity of data connections people get on their smartphones, I was wondering if developers who know they will download apps, images, movies, etc to phones have any guidelines or website forums specifically addressing considerations like:

  • what's the largest file you should attempt to download?
  • what considerations are there for servers used for downloading?
  • Are there various protocols that are better/worse for performing large downloads? or,
  • do different hosting services use different time-out parameters that would cause large downloads to fail?
I'm OK if you point me elsewhere or engage on one of more of these specific issues.
