Data transfer with resume command

A computing device, comprising:

• a processor;
• one or more memory devices in communication with the processor;
• statements, defined in the one or more memory devices, which when executed by the processor to perform actions comprising:
• receiving a command to transfer a first data file;
• determining if at least two processes exist or do not exist from among processes comprising:
• a first data-transfer process of the first data file;
• a second data-transfer process of a second data file;
• and
• a third process, not related to the first data-transfer process or the second data-transfer process;
• and
• selecting an action from among a plurality of actions, wherein the selecting is based at least in part on which processes were found to exist, from among processes comprising:
• the first data-transfer process;
• the second data-transfer process, and the third process;
• wherein the plurality of actions comprises:
• resuming the first data-transfer process;
• canceling the second data-transfer process and starting a new data-transfer process to transfer the first data file;
• rejecting the command;
• allowing the third process to conclude and then starting the new data-transfer process to transfer the first data file;
• and
• starting the new data-transfer process to transfer the first data file.
