Add ability to stop and resume syncing with peers

Answer 1 · 2021-05-24T16:04:43.000Z

Can you describe a use-case?

It mostly preference. On an integrated application, users would want to pause or resume syncing on a bad network connectivity and there's a timeout.

Answer 3 · 2021-05-29T19:39:06.000Z

Would it just stop downloading headers? or would it also stop connecting to peers?

Answer 4 · 2021-05-30T09:41:49.000Z

Basically stop download of headers.

Here's a suitable case, iOS limits background tasks for power efficiency especially when on low power mode, being able to stop and resume sync with peers will enable low power usage on mobile platforms.
