Git isn't made for big files. Git is version control system for small files of text or code. For big files use GitLFS. When you have connections problems you can't solve that in my mind.

Another solution for large files is rsync with append.

As mentioned in "Resuming git push", there is no "resume push" in Git, only pushing less and smaller commits.

rsync the .git/objects folder is often advised, but is not possible in your case (GitHub).
