Windows client does not resume file transfer after interrupted download

Reading the seafile client source for uploads, my impression is that a file must exceed 100mb for the client carry out its upload it in a resumable manner; and once this happens, it is in 1mb chunks. Also, I think this results in 100mb blocks (vaguely remember observing this too). And, if I understand correct, uploading a file under 100mb via the client would be carried out in a non-resumable manner. Is that correct?

Unfortunately not true. The average block size is 8MB. 100MB is the threshold to start a batch of upload, not to divide a block.

I don’t think letting the user choose the “block size” is a good idea. Most users don’t understand what this is. And making every client use different block size will cause unexpected conflict issue when syncing a library with existing folders.

There is no simple solution to this issue based on how the sync client works now. So my suggestion is to ask the user to pause automatic syncing when working on the move.

Another alternative is to use the SeaDrive client. It won’t automatically sync anything unless the user explicitly open a file.
