Title: Question on nnn.part file size
Post by: y-man on July 03, 2007, 09:15:33 PM

Hi,

I am a new user.
I have a download started, and after a few hours the size of nnn.part file is almost as big as the expected complete file.
Yet, when I copy this 1 GB+ file it finishes in a snap. As well downloaded/completed numbers are in the order of 20-30 MB.

Curious about what is underlying this phenomenon.

Running Ubuntu Dapper.

TIA

Mo, what is causing it is that you downloaded bits from the end so all the file was created.
