I saw a review for this on digg.com a few days ago, a guy who reviewed a bunch of clients put this at the top of the list. I've only been using it for a few days, but I totally agree - so far it's the best client I've used.

this is gonna sound retarded but what's a little retardation between friends, eh?
here goes... if i have some files dling, switching clients midstream wouldn't have any affect on them will it? Long as i use the same folder locations, etc.? right? |

occasionally resuming a torrent w/a new client can erase everything d/l'd so far if the new torrent creates (or in this case re-creates) a new folder and new files with the same name. it could overwrite your partials w/zero-bit files. to prevent this possibility i stop the download, cut and paste the partially completed original folder to a new location, resume the d/l with the new client creating it's new (and bit-less) folder, then stop the d/l once more. next, i move the original folder back to the original location, and let explorer overwrite the bit-less files with my partially-completed saved ones.
a final restart gets things back to normal. the client checks for the completion-percentage (10, 50, 90%-whatever) and continues from there with the partial files intact, as if nothing had happened. this works well with corrupted clients that need to be re-installed during a download. - js. |
