snapsnapdown is a Snapchain Snapshot Downloader.

I wrote it because I had some issues when I was setting up my node.

It gives you more flexibility than the embedded downloader:

- You can stop/start and it will pick up where you left.

- When restarting, local chunk sizes will be compared to remote, and if they do not match they will be re-downloaded

- Concurrent chunk downloads: I have found that sometimes a chunk may download at very low speeds, having concurrent downloads removes the bottleneck and results in faster overall download.

- Downloaded chunks are not automatically deleted.

- It looks nicer :-)
