Max File Size Downloadable in Background for Windows Phone 8.1 (Universal App)

I couldn't find this on MSDN, but is there a limit on the maximum file size that can be downloaded by using a BackgroundDownloader DownloadOperation?

I know there is a limit for Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight (20/100MB for cell/wifi), however I could not see anything for Windows Phone 8.1 Universal Apps.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

With the new BackgroundTransfer API there are no more restrictions.

You can read more here at the blog:

No arbitrary file-size restrictions: BTS restricts transfer file sizes based on the network conditions (details here). In BT there are no file-size restrictions; it’s bound only by the amount of free space available on the phone’s internal storage.
