amule keeps downloading same chunks
« on: November 13, 2006, 05:58:16 PM »

Hi

I'm downloading a large file (1.5GB) and it doesn't finish downloading. Amule finds the sources and download somethig, but when it gets to, say, 99.8% of the file, amule shows a message like

AICH-Recovery: AICH successfully recovered 7,70 MB of 9,28 MB from part 7 for THEFILEIMDOWNLOADING.rar

amule is stalled on this; I get a large bandwidth for the file, it seems to be about finishing OK, but before finishing there always appear the AICH message. It happens always with some specific parts (7, 93, and 143), and it recovers exactly the same amount (7,70MB in the case above) on every message.

This is happening too with other ISO image I'm downloading.

It is not a problem of finding the sources, instead amule keeps downloading always the same chunks of the file. For the first file I've already downloaded 2.25GB for a 1.46GB file

thanks for your help

then you can probably deleted that file since someone has onyl corrupt parts and it will never finish ....

its not amules fault its simply someone messed that file up on purpose

If it happens with multiple files as you wrote you might wanna check your file system for corruptions.
