Yes, I'm familiar with Explore2fs-- I used to use it myself when I had Windows on this box.


However, I'm not sure it's relevant in this case.

The OP wants to start a DC++ download in Linux and finish it in Windows.

So the question of whether you can look at the uncompleted files or check the configuration using yet a third program seems irrelevant to me, because the issue is whether DC++ itself can do the following:

1) see the configuration that tells it what downloads are in progress and what their status is;

2) append/complete the partially downloaded files.

Which won't be possible from Windows if the originally started downloads and the configuration/current status database are on a Linux file system (which Windows can not natively read or write to, so DC++ Windows can't read or write to them either).

Unless the Linux version is run from a FAT32 fs, or I'm totally wrong.

Right?

Even if it's ported, does it allow me to start a download in linux, and then finish it in windows? As i dual boot a lot i don't want a DC client that only works in one system, and i doubt one program can finish download of another program.


If it is an excact port of DC++ with the same tempfile format it should
work.

The website says that this is so:
"This is a project to port the DC++ direct connect client to Linux"

Do you then have to run the Linux port from a FAT32 partition? How is Windows supposed to read the template files otherwise (or whatever files determine the last actual state of the downloads-in-progress when the program was closed)? Windows won't be able to see any of this if it's all on a Linux native filesystem.
