+
+#### ✅ Advanced Chunked Operations
+- **Configurable Chunk Sizes**: 1MB minimum with intelligent size recommendations
+- **Multi-Layer Progress Tracking**: Collection → File → Chunk progress reporting
+- **Performance Optimization**: Optimal chunk sizes for different file sizes and network conditions
+- **Resume Capability Foundation**: Infrastructure for future resume functionality
+
+#### ✅ Comprehensive Timing and Performance Metrics
