Well you have to consider that cloning a repo pulls down the entire history. While git does try to compress what it can, you're still pulling down every version of that 60 MiB file when you do a clone. Each pull after the clone only pulls the commits you don't have, of course. If you have a slow connection, you're going to clone (not pull) often, or you're going to be committing changes to that binary often, you should reconsider committing those big files, or pushing/pulling the repo across that slow connection.
