Downloading older versions of large zip files

I have some big zip files on dropbox (> 5gb) and while I can see the version history and restore it, I am unable to download an older version. Preview of older version fails since size is more than 512mb - and this is OK. Even if preview is not possible, one should at least be able to download the older version file.

 

Hacks/workarounds involving restore or making temp copies of the file are tedious and affect other users on the team. There is unnecessary bandwidth usage as well for everyone that has the file synced.
