Postpone syncing of particular file which has already started syncing

Open f3flight opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

I am currently using Syncthing over a slow connection, and I have 2 files in the queue - one big and one small. The small was created later then the big one and the big one has started syncing already. I see no easy way to "pause" the sync of the big file to allow small file to get synced first (I want it first, because the big one will take 2 days to sync). I tried changing the pull order but it does not affect already started transfers - the app restarts and continues syncing the big file.

Wouldn't this be a useful new feature?

Sounds doable. We'd probably get away with just a "cancel" button on the file; the rest of the queue will be worked off, and then the process restarts.

The more useful thing here is your puller refactor which should fix the order being fixed as updates come in.

Yeah. We'll see how that goes.
