How is this served? Do they send a usb drive? Or a download link of some sort?

It's a download link, on their respective dashboard you can select between the catagories you want. Like on Google you can select if you want youtube, drive, gmail, or everything at once.

With GDPR they have 7 days to comply, and it should be available to any EU citizen even when outside of EU territory. So I'm assuming you can just change your region. Either way, takeout.google.com is where I'd go.

Ah, that's unfortunate. Tbh I've been downloading 200GB there frequently and haven't had any issues.

GDPR can also be called upon using a registered letter and they are required to deliver as well. I'm not sure but that might be a way to recieve a physical copy.
