here is the thing... my router sometimes corrupts data i download (btw. anyone knows how to fix it ???) and i get bad files (bad hash). i especially hate when this happens to a movie coz i get bad frames/freezes. .i usually fix it using zidrav but its hard to find user that will help you...
so what i would like to see in next version of dc++ is option to fix the file. this could be done by splitting one big file into small parts and then comparing hashes. ofcourse then you will only need to redownload different parts. it's much easier and quicker than downloading the whole movie again. i think zidrav has zidrav.dll or something (its open source too) so you can easy integrate it to your code

ok,thats all for now... thats only function i'm missing

dc++ roxx

In the future, when DC++ supports multisource downloading, it will do partial file verification based off the TTH values and redownload as needed.

What router and software firewall you using thats corrupting data? How do you know its the router... conducted any tests ?

if you know the person you're downloading from a tool called zidrav turns out to be very handy.

yea this has to be done in order for multisource downloading to work properly...
but i have another thing in mind. fe i have some really rare movies only 1 or 2 user have and i have wrong hash. but unfortunatelly that user wont help me (afraid of installing unknown software-zidrav on their computers). so it would be cool if i could fix it right away directly from dc

off topic: router is level1 fbr-1402-tx, and i'm 99% sure its router corrupting data because when i restart it, all works fine but then after some time (10, 20,30,XX hours)starts doing it again..

cheers

keep in mind that resetting your router is also a zeitgeber for processes on your machine, because the reset causes a lost connection on your network interface, does it not?
