Hi there
after searching for help in other parts of forum and not finding the info needed. i am wondering if it is possible to to restore a cancelled download .dat file.
i am asking because i have some downloads which were cancelled by me (idiot!!) and were nearly 90% complete and i do not want to download from the beginning again :D

in case you were using file recovery tools like norton utilities you might be able to recover the deleted dat file,in case you are able to recover put it in shared folder and there you are with your old download being resumed.........
else no other way.
