The `PreferredDownloadType` setting in `config.json` determines which of these modes is preferred. This does not guarantee the mode will always be chosen, as `repertory` will choose an appropriate mode based on the type of file operation being performed. If a file is currently open in read mode and a request to write is performed, the file will automatically be changed to `default` mode without any interruptions to file i/o.
1. Default
* In `default' mode, a file of equal size is allocated in the`cache` directory.
* In `default` mode, a file of equal size is fully allocated within the`cache` directory.
* File read/write occurs in 8MiB chunks for files that are not currently in cache.
* Even though writes occur within 1 or more 8MiB chunks, the file will not be scheduled for upload until all chunks have been downloaded.
* This mode will be forced if any request to write is performed.
* This mode supports read and write.
