title: Why is data transfer speed slower for multiple smaller files than a huge file?
body: <p>I have always noticed that when for example a react project or a whole website for an instance whose size sums up to say <b>350-450 MB</b> takes a <b>longer </b>time to transfer than a <b>2-3 GB</b> video file or for the matter of fact any number of files that are bundled into one file like a .zip/.rar/.iso.<br><br>
  Some SCs :-<br><br>

  <p>I scoured the web but unfortunately found no relevant posts/answers. <br>
  Maybe I didn't use the necessary keywords...idk</p>
  
  <p>If possible, a detailed explanation would be really helpful :)<br>
  Even if the explanation dives into OS concepts it's cool.
  I just wanna know why</p>
