I want to download just the blockchain piece,
where there were my trascantions,
Is that how it should be done?
Do we call this a fork?

By downloading a Bitcoin blockchain, I mean syncing your wallet with Bitcoin blockchain, you don't make any Bitcoin fork.

If you want to fork a Proof of Work coin, you must have miners to do mining on that shorter chain. If no miner, no hashrate, that shorter or shortest chain will be a dead one.

Many scam forks die with time.
How many Bitcoin forks are there?
