 The ''aliases'' attribute contains a space-separated list of 
 extensions which are considered when deciding whether a file has been
-already downloaded.  Upon retrieval, files have BOINC-assigned outfile 
-names ending by '_1', '_2', and so on. Upon retrieval, it is
-possible to fix these extension by mass-renaming the retrieved files,
-e.g. ''*_1'' to ''*_1.vel''. If an alias is specified as above,
-files ending with ''_1'' will be considered already
-downloaded if a file  named ''*_1.vel'' is present in the 
+already downloaded.  When an alias is specified as above,
+a file ending in ''_1'' will be considered already
+downloaded, and its retrieval skipped, if a file
+with  a similar name  but ending in
+''_1.vel'' or ''_1.vel.gz'' is present in the 
 retrieve directory.
