# err if you've just spent all night downloading it
and happened, just for example, to have turned the pc off, instead of on, this morning, and you sat there and watched the bit torrent client window closing with 3% remaining, is there anyway to resume downloading?

hy-pathetically speaking

# yeah.
just go to download the torrent again, and when you're asked to save it, save it to the same location.
If you have the same name it'll scan how much of the file is done then resume it.

# Or just watch it now.
3% will make very little difference.

# Should be able too.
Just click the torrent again, and it should pick up where you left off.

Alternatively, get Shareaza and manage your torrents in the same app as your traditional p2p downloads.
