Hi Vince! (and Emil :)

I still get suprised how simple, clever and elegant these Gnome
applications can be. I was hoping to find a setting where I could point
the program to the previously downloaded file and let it be shared
again, but as you said all I have to do is to start downloading again.
Yes Vince, apparently it works exactly the same as the CLI version
(never used it myself). The program seemed to start downloading the .iso
file from the net again, but the progress bar moved very fast and
propably the file was just being checked. Great! :-)
