The new download re-searching is not working at all for me. I've only managed to re search and download one file out of 50-70 incomplete files. Of course I wait until I have managed to get as many friends as possible. Then I try to do re search, but with no luck.

It's working for me and others. My guess is you have your network settings messed up somehow or don't have your firewall configured correctly.

Perhaps the development team should take a look at Gnutella 0.56. That one had a very easy way of continue download. It tried to download from the same client as it was doing the first time and usually it worked.

Ack! Good God no! This is exactly what's wrong with most peers. Most people have dynamic IP addresses - if they go offline for any reason you're sunk. Try downloading a file over, say, 70 meg and you'll see counting on a single IP pretty much guarantees you'll never get the whole file.
