just so you know, only the download part of that version of aqualime was rolled back. (of course, now it's all out of date)

Anyway, I just grabbed the 2.4.0 source, and haven't seen any problems with resuming. Give that a try.

and about AL running slow, it does that with java 1.4.0. It runs a lot better on 1.3.1, unfortunately. Hopefully that will get worked out.
