What about adding a separate option for indexing?
Which should do what?

The current option provides preview and indexing.
It may be useful to have distinct options. Something like that:
Code: [Select]
[ ] Download chunks needed for preview first
    [ ] Then download chunks needed for indexing

Unfortunately, you cannot guess the index size unless analyzing the muxed stream, which is obviously outside amule's scope. The current approach, shown by GonoszTopi, is a good compromise indeed.
If this is true the feature can't be implemented.

Short Question in between: Is this already included in 2.2.6?

If by "this" you mean that the penultimate chunk gets downloaded if the last chunk is "too small": the answer is yes.
