Shareaza

Often when downloading several torrents with the same subject/content, there are files that are the same in several of them. The should be a possibility to link them to each other to not to have to download their content several times.
This is especially important as there are often multi-file torrents containing one main file and several small info files. The main file can in most cases also be found on the other networks and therefore separately also be downloaded from ed2k, gnutella and G2. If Shareaza allows us to link two files in that way, much traffic could be saved.

I second that... Absolutely no discussion about downloading illegal/copyrighted content in our forums plz. You might be downloading half a dozen revisions of the same thing so they're 85% identical or more. If they're 16MB each giving 96MB in total, you'll probably end up downloading the same ~14MB of data 6 times.

But you're right in theory. That's what I am basically talking about.
