Default File size changes during download

This isnt really a problem so to speak- I'm just a litte confused. When i download a file, the size of the file is proportional to the progresssion of the download until it reaches 10%. For instance, if the full file is 300mb, then when the file is 10% downloaded, it will be 30mb in size. Once I pass 10% download though, the file size is immediately 300mb. That said, the file isnt complete until the download is at 100%- its really only 30mb worth of the file. The issue i have with this is my internet is capped at 2gb. That means if i preview a file at 50% and dont want it, i've already consumed the full file size worth of my download quota. Is there a way to make the size of the file proportional to the amount downloaded the entire time, so that at 50% progression, 50% of the file is downloaded?
Sorry if this isnt in the right forum...
