Spanish term

pesar

Spanish to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters internet, e-mail
In Spanish we say a file "pesa" when it is very big, it has many KB, so it can be slow to send or download. I wonder if there is a colloquial way of saying that in English.
Tks in advance!
Proposed translations (English)

heavy files

We mostly talk about downloading heavy files, or just large or big files. So you will need to change the phrase to use an adjective rather than a verb.
Example sentence:

special features for downloading heavy files
