Resume download of new torrent if there is data in the download folder

The administrator closed my last topic because he thought that utorrent already does this, but it doesn't. When there is data already in a folder called "temp", and torrent is then opened, if you select "temp" as the destination directory, all the data will be overwritten. Instead, it should be able to check the pieces that are already there and then start downloading only the pieces that are needed.

utorrent does not do this, so don't tell me it does. I have experienced it for myself.

I'm not going to refute you, as I can't be sure if it's actually happening or not, but I'll pose these questions for you: If it doesn't already do this, then how does µTorrent resume downloads at all? Wouldn't it just keep overwriting files any time it starts a torrent?

The only way µTorrent can resume is if it checks the files you point to first.
