File request order: ~/.ipfs/blocks or peers first?
I'm curious about the file request process when using a CID. Specifically, in the kubo implementation, does it first search for the file in ~/.ipfs/blocks and then reach out to peers? Or is it the other way around? I would appreciate any insights on this matter.

1You are correct that the behavior mentioned is specific to the implementation. In the case of Kubo, it always checks the ~/.ipfs/blocks directory first.
If you are looking for more information or assistance specifically related to IPFS, I recommend checking out the official IPFS website. They have a Slack community where you can find help and resources. You can visit their Slack community by clicking here.
