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?
