[Feature] Are there plans to have bittorrent style p2p pause / resume / interruption support?

[tdbe]

Seeing this issue mentioning temp files get left behind, made me think (hope) there is (going to be) support to resume a download.

Torrent style p2p is fire and forget -- you know the file will eventually get there. Syncthing does this.

And especially on phones it's good to support this in case:

• the app dies in background with the screen off
• mobile data is patchy
  etc

However I can imagine that this feature might not be easy to support on iOS given that they don't really expose any sort of filesystem to you. Unless idk you can solve it somehow with persistent/joinable internal temp files.

The next-generation file-transfer protocol based on "Dilation" will support resuming and interruptions.

I cannot say when that might make it to this implementation, however; the Python library supports Dilation and there are current efforts to implement it in Rust.
