Could you repeat the question? ...lol

Nevermind, I'll ask you one. What's editplus?

As far as the .dat files... they are of course the unfinished downloads in Morpheus in your download folder. I've found it's good to copy/paste them somewhere else (sometimes) right in mid-download ...or if it's nearly finished ...as you can lose the data totally if Morpheus crashes or some other problem occurs.

Then you can paste it into the download folder and resume it later ...but this doesn't always work and Morpheus will simply delete the file on startup. If you've ever almost completed a huge movie or something, lost it and had to start over, then you know what I mean. You can also rename the copy of the .dat file to temp.mpg or temp.mov or temp.mp3 or whatever it is and take a look at it.

This is not always a nessessary thing to do of course ...but it's saved my ass a couple of times from having to start over. When you've completed the download successfully, just delete the copy of the .dat file you made ...as it's no doubt rather large.
