Resume interrupted download #275

Open liammkellly opened 2 months ago

Description

When downloading large IPAs on poor quality network, the download can fail, leaving a file.ipa.tmp with partial progress. It would be useful to be able to resume from that file rather than start over.

Definitely +1 for download resume functionality. Partial downloads due to flaky connections are a real pain, especially for larger IPAs. Resuming would be a huge quality of life improvement, and on top of that, it would save us all some bandwidth by eliminating the need to retry downloads 10-20 times due to failed connections.

Also agree. This is quite needed feature.
