What version of DC++ are you using?

If you are using DC++ 0.69 & up, make sure you configure this by going to: File, Settings, Queue, put a checkmark on these 2 options: Automatically search for alternative download locations + Automatically match queue for auto search hits, then hit OK.

Hope that helps.

No since different TTH means that they aren't the very same file.

i know what your saying but surely a file with the same name and size should be able too?

could it be an option in the future?

No. If a hashes are different then the files are can't be absoultely same. Maybe they differ only a few bytes or just have a different meta information (retagged, etc..). DC++ identifies files by their hashes so it'll never use a file with different hash for resuming.

Can you help with this problem?
