IRC Resume

[Sniper82]

Will a file ask to resume only if its the exact same file size and name? Or can I name a completely different file to the same name of the file I want to resume and it resume?

For mIRC, I believe it will resume if its the same filename and size...

 

[Sniper82]

so both file name and size has to match?

I believe so, but you could always have a friend send you a 1MB test file and try it out yourself.

You can resume any file from anything, but what you'll get is a Frankenstein file that won't work. Usually if they are named the same it does it automatically, if you set that option.

You must resume from the same exact *file* (irregardless of filename). If you had the CRC for the (full) original file you could have your friend (or whoever) to check theirs and see if it is the same. This usually lets you skip the filesize/name check. You will RARELY run into two (different) files with the same CRC.
