rockhaus,
Apparently, the only 'acceptable' way to finish a half-finished download is to manually select Repeat Search from the right-click context-menu of the original search. The latest generation of Gnutella s/w no longer does an "auto requery" for files.

Personally, I've switched to Kazaa Lite. Even though it doesn't 'natively' do auto-requeries, there are add-ons that will do it for you. But I haven't even had to use them -- in just 3 days, I've been able to download the 2 files that I wasted months on Gnutella trying to download.

And I've got a symmetric 768k DSL...
