Default "Swarmed" mpg's corrupted...again

I couldn't find my previous post concerning this issue, so I am reposting it here.

A swarmed download from multiple hosts often corrupts an .mpg file, not just dropped frames, but seconds worth of gaping white space that will generally crash a media player when it hits the blank spot.

Now these are NOT corrupted files at the source. I managed to download a large file -- again -- from the same host. The white frames are not there. Whatever LW is doing to divide the file for swarming and filling it again, it is not doing a good job of it.

Adding insult to injury, as the download is just completing, I get an error message tellling me that LW has detected a corruption in the file. How helpful, since it put it there to begin with.

If this bug is not fixed, at last have the option of disabling swarmed downloads. I would rather put up with slower speeds than have to download hundreds of MB's all over again due to LW's bungling.
