How are automatic searches matched ?
For this feature to work, you'll need to have it enabled. File -> Settings -> Advanced -> Automatically search for alternative download locations.
Basically, the same algorithm as "search for alternates" is used. All non-alphanumeric characters from the filename are removed (.-_ and so on), and the search is sent. Then, any result returned that has exactly the same size is added as a source. All in all, it's not an exact filename match, but the filename still plays a central role (otherwise, for instance, rar sets would be added to the wrong rars).
Since DC++ 0.402, if a file has a TTH root, autosearching will use the root hash instead of the file name for its search.
