Question resuming download

I just installed LW 2.0.2 under linux (using Sun jre 1.3.1) and i found that something strange is going on when resuming files. I had a bunch of incomplete download froom my previous installation of LW 1.8, when i find the file and click on it for downloading it again it can happen one of the following things
1) resumes the file (perfect behaviour)
2) starts downloading a new file cos of a a difference in the name (this should really be fixed! who cares about the name when the checksum is the same?)
3) overwrite the file restarting it from scratch (this just happened once but i lost 80MB of download )
4) start downloading from scratch the file *without* setting its length to zero... that means that he simmply re-writes the file and when u get to the end continue downloading the part that was missing before
I hope to have been clear.
Can anyone please explain to me what causes these (erratic imho) different behaviours?
thanks
