LimeWire 1.9 does not implement HUGE, although a future version likely will. While HUGE is inarguably a more robust solution that our current implementation, we've found that approximate file name matching combined with exact file length matches works just as well in many cases. The only danger is that sometimes file names do not approximately match even though they are the same file -- the type of oversite that a HUGE impementation would not make.

We should have it in there at some point, however.
