If the 200MB files they are referring to are the TablePlus client side app downloads (183MB for windows) at https://tableplus.com/download

The files are indeed cached by CF:

    # curl -v https://files.tableplus.com/windows/5.9.2/TablePlusSetup.exec > /dev/null
    ...
    < cache-control: max-age=691200
    < cf-cache-status: HIT
    < age: 2980



So, there are serving virtually zero bits from their servers.


To be fair that was only one of the files they mentioned - the rest could be going to their server on every hit.


I thought cloudfare would only cache web files like html and images and not actual files? This caused problems with some of their users as seen previously on HN

Or is that only with the free tier?
