Replace large-chunk blob downloads with parallel small-chunk verification to solve timeout and performance issues. Registry users experienced progressively slowing download speeds as large-chunk transfers aged, often timing out completely. The previous approach downloaded blobs in a few large chunks but required a separate, single-threaded pass to read the entire blob back from disk for verification after download completion. This change uses the new chunksums API to fetch many smaller chunk+digest pairs, allowing concurrent downloads and immediate verification as each chunk arrives. Chunks are written directly to their final positions, eliminating the entire separate verification pass. The result is more reliable downloads that maintain speed throughout the transfer process and significantly faster overall completion, especially over unstable connections or with large blobs.
