Resumable data uploads for future Graphsync
Eva Shon
When sending data to a miner, interruptible transfer + resume can provide end-to-end convenience to users. Would need code around Graphsync to make it obvious to the user but the under the hood this uses IPFS chunking, etc.
Non-IPFS example: tus.io (mentioned by @lidel)
Hannah said this makes sense!
Benefits:
- Improves the workflow of sending data to a miner
- IPFS Browsers & Connectivity SIG is also interested in improving "uploading big file or directory, tracking progress and resuming interrupted upload"

I think this is super-important, ideally it works on retrieval too so that users don't have to pay twice to re-retrieve after failed data transfers
