Large file storage for metro apps

I need to download and store large files (mostly videos) in a win8 metro app. What's the best recommended way? IsolatedStorage? What is the size limit for it?* I tried googling, but I'm yet to come up with anything definite.

I don't know of any size limits on the ApplicationData.LocalFolder, I certainly wouldn't recommend the ApplicationData.RoamingFolder.

Another possibility is the KnownFolders, for your case the Videos library seems like a nice solution.

For the known folders you need to declare in your app manifest that your app wants to access them.
