are grouped. So i.e. you can still find 'BLABLA.avi' and 'BLABLA [DivX].avi' both having te same size.

I have done a LOT of testing with this software. In a single search, no matter what the search was for, I have NEVER seen two files with exactly the same size. I HAVE seen files with a slightly different name come up with the same size as what I'm downloading when searching AGAIN, but all this means is that someone with a differently named file that matched my search responded first.

Take, for example, Wheetus, Teenage Dirtbag. This is from my resumeinfo.txt file (with all the extra junk removed):

teen <- search term(s) used
x:\path\xolox\downloads\wheatus -teenage dirtbag.mp3 <- local filename when complete
4094080 <- file size

Note all the different spellings of "wheatus" some even called it wheezer, or didn't name an artist.

And if, like in this case, you know that both files are in fact the same file...it will be a handy option if you can say to the program that these files are in fact the same, and that it can use both of these 'source-groups' to download the file. [/B]

Xolox desn't re-search by filename, but rather by your original search terms. This request is moot.
