Unhappy Can You Fool the Library?

We've all been there, right? Downloaded half of a larger video file with the title "A_Great_Vid.mpg". Download stops, and you discover that everyone else on the planet has given that file different names: "Great Vid.mpg", "Grate-Vid.mpeg", etc. So you end up with partial downloads of the same vid with every possible permutation of a name.

Now if LImewire is clever enough to group these files together and to prevent you from downloading them simultaneously, why isn't there a way to tell Limewire that the files it groups are indeed copies of the same file when it comes time to resume a download?

Is there any way to change the name of the partial download within the library? I tried that once, and the file just SAT there.
