edonkey..
takes care of stuff like that pretty good, simultaneus downloads and stuff, and the partially downloaded parts get shared too.
and crc hashing that's used to identify files instead of names, so you don't end up getting fakes(the downside is that you better use sites like sharereactor.com to choose what you d/l).
what i really dig about it is that i can just get a file to d'load, leave the program running, and it gets it, sure as a train, sooner or later.(provided that the file is spread at least marginally, which those posting sites are for)
