Description
Switching WiFi networks halfway through update causes the download to freeze.
Steps to reproduce
- Update LBRY w/update release.
- Switch WiFi networks.
Expected behaviour
It should just pick up where it left off when back in WiFi zone.
Actual behaviour
It just freezes.
System Configuration
This issue is I think universal. Not a priority but good for regular Joes who might one day want to use LBRY.
