You can already do this, except for the downlaod again if smaller option.

I forget where the settings are but set the option to remember previosly downloaded files and then check the option to pause already downloaded files.

You could then unpause the ones you would want to download again.

As I understood this option works for newly important files, right?
If you queue them from a search result, they arent paused..

Setup > Download > Import already downloaded as paused, Keep download history for last X days.

It does exactly what it says.  If the files aren't older  than the days you specifiy for your dl history, they will be paused in the queue, whether imported from a file or from a search engine.

The easiest way to verify this kind of feature is just to try it for yourself.

Alright, thats good. Maybe it should be considered to rename this option, so newbies (as me  :P) don't misunderstand it. Like "queue files as paused if already downloaded.
