- just fill up all available gaps in the part file, rehash and then let AICH sort it out ? I think that's the best.
I wouldn't want to lose a single byte already downloaded data, even if I import from a completely empty/invalid/etc source.

I think that there are times when you would need the oppositi. E.g. You did download chunk 1,3 and 4 and part of 2 and than the only source disapear. You did find it via FTP and download the first 30 MB, till the FTP-source disapear, too.

If we wouldn't throw away something, than we couldn't complete it. But maybe we are now starting to complicate the things too much...

The approach I suggested in my last post will complete the file for you even in this case, if it can be completed with what you have. (Only exception is when a part is incomplete in the import file, and there's some corrupted data in the part file, but that goes far from the straight path...)
If part 2 can be verified in the import file it will be taken over, and the downloaded part 2 will be dumped.
GonoszTopis intention was: if you try to import something that doesn't fit at all the process should not make any more gaps. That's fulfilled.

May I suggest a "spin off"?
I've just relized that my computer has corrupted most of my downloaded files...
I can find many of the original hashes from their ed2k links
Would it be possible to have some kind of "repair this file with this ed2k-hash" feature?
I imagine that it would be very similar to the one requested in this thread, only extended to complete files.

It's actually the same request. Just restart the download and then import the broken file.
However the feature hasn't bee implemented yet.

btw, a lot of emule-mods already have this feature. i guess you could borrow much of it from them... (especially concept-wise)

It hasn't been implemented yet for lack of time, not for lack of concept.  :P
