Losing partial downloads

[fantrace]

If this is a FAQ, can someone just point me at the answer please.

If I have a problem while downloading files, such as losing my connection or having to close the PC down, when I restart Kazaa sometimes the files just carry on from where they were interupted while with others I lose everything and have to start the download from scratch again. Is there an explanation for this and anything I can do about it?

I'm running Kazaa Media Desktop v2.0.2 under Win98 through an AOL 56K dialup connection in the UK, if any of that is relevant. The OS installation is a bit flakey which is why I have to reboot the PC from time to time. Could that have anything to do with the effect I'm asking about?

Yeah, it used to happen to me too with the panicking when I lost my connecting because sometimes the partial downloads would be deleted. This was with an older version of Kazaa Lite...1.7 or so. I use Kazaa Lite ++ 2.0.2 now and havent had any more problems. Id get the newest version of Kazaa Lite ++ I dont know what theyre on now, but its past 2.0.2

Yeah, i have had the same problem. Halfway thru a download, the download restarts from the begining again. I thought it could be because kazaa couldn't find a user with the exact same file, so it started downloading a simialr one, or somethin. I'll try upgrading, see if that helps.
