render pages after detach from file system

QUESTION: can I configure Sumatra to automatically read entire file from network location so I can view after network connection is lost?

PDF files stored on network server (NAS) at home. I open file with Sumatra on laptop. Kids and laptop and I go to the park (wireless connection is lost). I ignore kids and return to my reading. Several pages later, Sumatra "cannot render" pages. Sometimes I remember to copy the file to local C drive, but prefer automatic (a persistent setting or command line option or ??). (I wondered about the stress-test option ("renders all pages..."), but was unsure about trying that)
Thank you for the nice program.

SumatraPDF should already do what you want for all files that are less than 10MB in size. For larger files, the overhead would be too large, so you have to do the copying yourself.
