Yes. You can end the process (eg: kill it), then later re-run bittorrent on the directory where the previous files were and it will pick up from where it came from. It also guarantees that the file you will get is exactly the same as the file that the coordination server is "serving", so assuming the first "full download" provider that the coordination server is working with had valid files, there's no need for an md5sum anymore. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc. : software we refer to GnuPG Key ID : 0x93B746BE : freedom, not price. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
