Files are files.  Size does not have any impact on how any of this has
to work (aside from the fact that files could possibly be very large
meaning redundant copies are not acceptable).  Trying to define a "small
file" and "large file" category just makes everything more complicated
for no particular reason.

Why would the user care?

The chose it, presumably they know where it is anyway.
