@chrlamb said in Folx restarts downloading files it has already downloaded:

but I notice something disconcerting if it is restarted for some reason, like if the computer has shut down. When it is reloaded it starts checking all the files it has downloaded

This happens when your PC unexpectedly shutdown or shutting down due to auto-updates,
these will affect your client exited improperly ...
And it will re-check all files that is incomplete download and continue resuming when re-started ...
So be aware on corrupted data's while resuming ...
It will totally trigger the process ...
