Multiable Servers, Same Resource Package?

If I set the resources files (rsc) to an external link, and hosted a few different... "versions" (each "town" is a server, a new "PROJECT" with the same base) would it redownload the resources all again? Or would it see it had already downloaded the resources in that base, so it would refrain from redownloading?

Dream Seeker downloads the resources it can't find in the players already downloaded cache.

Yes, but does it compare the filename's of the cached files? Or does it compare from what game it downloaded them from?

Ex:
I make a FRAGMENT BASE.dme libary.
I mold a few new DME projects around the BASE.

I got to host each of the games, does that mean the player is going to have to redownload the BASE grahpics that were in the libary everytime they go on another "project"?

I don't think so but you should prolly wait for someone that knows a lil more about it. The way I take it is if you have say mobs.dmi already downloaded, then you go to the other server it shouldn't redownload it.
