I just merged in a change to provide better backup support for the downloads.dat file. It goes through the following steps:
Before writing downloads.dat, rename the existing one to downloads.bak. If writing the file fails at any time, delete the current downloads.dat and copy the old downloads.bak to downloads.dat.
When starting up, if reading the downloads.dat file fails for any reason, it will try to read downloads.bak. If that succeeds, it will copy downloads.bak to downloads.dat. |
I have lost my fileurns.cache file several times last week (due to Apple JVM bugs), how painful this is depends upon how many files you share. I have just submitted a patch to implement the same backup strategy for that file as well.
