Default Resume Issue

I've noticed Lime (1.6d) has been having a hard time dealing with resuming of files.
Say I have a file that is 100MB and is 90% downloaded before it stalls (other user disconnects or something)... I do a search for this file and find a bunch that Lime groups together. (So far so good) Expanding the grouping shows that they all have the same filesize, but the filenames differ very slightly: capitalization, or [ ] instead of ( ) or something. Ok... now I click on this group of files and then click "Download Any." Everything starts out fine... after a little bit it says "Connecting to..." and then the progress indicator lurches forward to 90%. But now this particular connection to the file fizzles and Lime tries the next one on the list...
but if the filename is different enough, Lime says it's completely different and starts a new file in my incomplete folder... AT 0%!!! Ugh! Lime HAD decided it was the same file during the search because it grouped it with the others... but now it's as if DIFFERENT LOGIC is being used and it doesn't reach the same conclusion. What gives?

Ok... here's a related issue. Say I search for "Foo Bar.File"

Results:
Name: "Foo Bar.File" Size: 321K Location: Multiple (3)
Name: "Foobar.File" Size: 321K Location: Joe.IP.Addy
Name: "Bar of Foo.File" Size: 321K Location: Multiple (2)

These clearly are all the same file... but Lime doesn't think so and there is currently no way for me to "Correct" Lime on the issue. If I downloaded 75% of the first one (Foo Bar.File) and want to resume using the third one (Bar of Foo.File), I have to manually make a copy of the incomplete file and rename the copy to the name of the third.

I should be able to highlight a selection and right click or something and select a current incomplete file to apply this selection to.

Also, I should be able to select all three of the above search results and click something to bundle them all together.

I should be able to find new search results for a file and add them to the pool of IP's the Lime is currently using to try to get the file... Instead of having to do a "Kill download" and a "Download Any" in succession.

Any thoughts?

I do agree with you on the cumbersomeness of the entire process. It would be nice to have easier, more user-friendly features, but I am perfectly content since this is the only LW client I have found that lets me resume downloads successfully. :-)
