Description

**Describe the bug**
"Download" gets stuck when you dont have the full tree locally and you are unable to fetch it. Even if you are able to fetch it the download may take a while and appear to stall as the user does not know they are know waiting to find the blocks.

We can check to see if the full tree is available locally before starting the download and warn that we will have to go find the full tree and it could take a while if it isn't all available.

This is easy to trigger know due to the "Import from IPFS" action only importing the root block as per #1691
