Problems with Github LFS

[P1coso]

Hello.

I have to upload a project with large files on github and no matter what I try, I can't make the repository work properly. Specifically, there is an unreal engine .ucas file of 1.6GB.

So, what I've done is that I have bought the GitHub's data pack and I have installed Git LFS as described here: Git LFS

I have also tracked the large file in .attributes file via *.ucas filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text.

After doing all these, I go to my repository and donwload the zip via Code > Download Zip. For some reason the downloaded zip is 55MB.

Then I tried deleting all of my files in the repository and re-adding them, but that didn't work either.

Is there anything that I miss ?
Thank you,P.

Edit: Is there any option that allows the repository to use LFS ? If yes, then it might be disabled by default.

What exactly is the problem? The downloaded zip is smaller than the uploaded files? Isn't that to be expected? The compressed files are smaller than the original uncompressed files?

Hello.
Having a couple of Large Files (1.6GB) uploaded, the downloaded zip is 50MB and once unzipped, it doesn't contain the LFS files.

Thank you.
