First of all: thanks for this great piece of software!!!

The problem: aMule (2.1.3) downloads the last two chunks only if the last chunk is small (1/3 of chunk size).

This isn't effective for previewing some files (may be the 1/3 limit is too low... I don't know).

I suggest to download always the last two chunks.

Ciao!

And till you get them you want to refuse to download all other chunks? What if the file is almost complete, but only some people have these chunks, and they are offline?

The chunks for the preview receive a higher priority, but aMule doesn't refuse to download other chunks meanwhile.

Currently aMule give higher priority to the first and the last chunk. And if the last chunk is small enough (1/3), aMule give high priority also to the next-to-last.
But this strategy doesn't work always. It happened to me to wait until 90% of a 1,5GB file, before to receive the next-to-last chunk and to be able to get the preview.

Then I suggest to give always high priority to the next-to-last chunk too.

and then what? next-to-next-to-last? next-to-next-to-next-tolast?

I don't know.

But since when I used a self-patched aMule, the problem has gone and I always get the preview.
