No - they are stored in downloads.ini. Search for
already_downloaded. Remove the hash of the file you want to download
again, but just like Steffen said you cant modify that file
while mldonkey is running. Or you could try the force_download
command. After entering the link to the telnet- or web-interface and
mldonkey complains *already downloaded*, type force_download. mldonkey
should accept this with *download forced*. It always worked for me but
some users seem to have a problem with forcing downloads....
