You bring up a good point about not caching these files.

How would I do that?

Thanks

However, it doesn't especially make sense to cache these huge files unless you have multiple servers around the world and you need to have the cached files for latency reasons.

Like how can you tell the larger files are not being served by Varnish? Is it never making it into the object cache? Or are things timing out and the file not even being delivered etc. It would probably be most helpful to narrow down the point at which it actually fails.
