Automatic splitting and merging of multi-part files could be handled on the client side, however, presumably by putting some sort of keyword into the metadata. To my knowledge, automatic multi-part downloading and merging have not been written into the reference client. I'm pretty sure Steve Blackheath is the guy with the final word on that. It seems like a low-priority item right now; but if you've the skills, time, and inclination to write the code yourself, so much the better. --Will (never speaking for his employers) willdye at willdye.com >> I *really* hope this is implemented later _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
