Allow syncs to recover midway, on unreliable, dropping connections #365

Open humphd opened 10 years ago

humphd commented 10 years ago

We should allow a file sync to pause and continue, without having to be restarted from zero. This would mean caching the initial bit until the rest arrives.

@thisandagain says "Charles Proxy" is one way to test this.

I'm not sure about Firefox at this point, but I know that Chrome recently include this functionality in their Developer tools, so just another option here :dancer:

We're going to move this to future, and not try to tackle it until we understand per-file sync characteristics through observation.
