Take, for instance, a file that is 800 megabytes which needs to be synced to
another computer where the transfer rate is only at 250 kilobits per second.
Every few hours, the connection gets cut off so the connection must be re-
established. Is there some way to enable transfers to continue syncing a file,
rather than restart the sync with the file? The constant restart means the
file will never complete in this scenario. Thanks.

In general it seems it's not a good idea to continue copying a partially
transferred files for reasons of data corruption: 1. At the time of copy
interruption, it's not clear what the last successfully written bytes were
(consider buffering). 2. At the time of continuation source or target or both
may have changed meanwhile leading to a mixture of state.
