I see. So, in short, what you want to have is to be able to just put a partially dlded file in the incompletes folder; LW will recognise it, determine which parts need to be completed and dld those parts, right?
Hmm, that might be difficult to do (if at all possible). Unless I'm wrong, LW would need an "image" of the complete file in order to determine which parts of it are incomplete. It would have to search the entire net to find that image.
I don't know... Maybe sberlin will tell us if it's doable or not.
