I would like to take off-line (remove for the moment) the 150 or so files that are in the process of downloading. some have been sitting there for quite a while. I don't want to just delete them, I may want to continue later.

If I move the contents of the temp folder, or just create a new one and point eMule Plus 1g to it, what will this do to my other files like known.met etc? These have info in them relating to the files in the download, amongst other stuff.
What if I then queue other files for DL, they would be allocated low part.met numbers like 001part.met. If I bring the old files back later, these would over-write, or not relate to the correct ones.

Is the correct way to do this to backup all eMule folder files, move the temp files away somewhere, then put plain eMule Plus files like known.met back in the folder? Obviously i'd keep the client.met and preferences.dat credit related files.

Anyone done this before?

tough question MrCC...

I think I follow you but I can't imagine how to avoid the problem you descibe. I have recently removed a few files (overshadowing a release on my UL queue) and I think they will no longer have a history when they come back. I hadn't anticipated this dilema.
