On occasion I happen to get kicked off of my ISP, but they like to do that when I reach about 110 MB of downloaded information. LOL!! This usually happens when I'm at work or in bed, so my downloads all get cut off, as one would expect. I prefer not to have an automatic log-on performed by ANY software for obvious security reasons.

Should your downloads happen to get cut off in the middle and you are unable to resume the file from the same server you were downloading from before, I've found a trick to pick up the rest of the file, thanks to the handy-dandy temp folder that Gnotella uses.

Let's say you have a 12,000,000 byte file downloading and it gets cut off at 6,000,000 bytes. Go to your temp file and find the incomplete file, do not delete the file from your DL manager nor the temp file, but rather, find another file on the network that matches the exact length of your first file and begin a download. When it starts, abort it after a couple of seconds.

In your temp file you'll find two files of the same name with an indicator number at the beginning:

8881filename.txt
8882filename.txt

Use the detailed view to see which one is larger, and switch the two indicator numbers. The bottom one would become "8881" and the top will become "8882." Now go back and resume your download of the last one you found and you'll find that you'll have 50% of the file you just started. ;o)

Be careful with MP3's, however. If somebody records a song without information tags but is one second longer, it may appear the same length, so beware.
