You'd then browse his host and choose the file.

Whenever his IP changes, he tells you his new ID, you browse the host again and continue the download.

LimeWire and Phex will continue with the new IP automatically, as soon as you found the file via host-browse (at least afaik). For Acquisition on the Mac, just put "acquisition://[ip]:[port]" into the search bar, and you'll browse his host.

Good luck!
Did you test it? Its some ago that I tried it... it didnīt work. I could connect but the connection wasnīt very reliable and disconnected after a few seconds. As I said its some time ago (two years?), I tried it with Bearshare. About the IP, you can use no-ip. This tool changes your dynamic IP to a static name, so you have only to know the name.
