#18 Storing the same file multiple times apepars to duplicate wo
I stored a large file. It was part-way through dispersing the file. Later, OFF crashed. When I came back in, OFF was still pushing blocks, but nothing was listed in the Disperse queue.
I re-stored the file and it rehashed the file and began the dispersal from scratch.
Whether this is a bug or not, the behavior is confusing and not intuitive.

Hello
Store and Disperse two different processes. In your case the status information about active disperses was not saved due to the crash. Because the store was successfull, you can (and should) restart disperse by right-clicking on the URL to disperse and selected "Disperse" from the context menu.
This will avoid storing the file again and saves a lot of unnecessary blocks from beeing created.
If you have an idea how to make this more intuitive, please tell.
