:-) Thank you.

Ah - I hadn't noticed that you were taking part in a discussion, sorry. I thought you were just having a harangue.

Are you trying to discourage me?

Now - about corruption - Just because you cannot hear corruption in the play back of a file does not mean that the file is not corrupt. It may well be sufficiently un-corrupt for you to not worry about it - but the corruption from the original is still there.

Corruption here means that what you have downloaded differs from one or more of the sources that you downloaded the file from. This difference can be for a number of reasons and of greater or lesser severity.

So, I believe that your temper tantrum demand that "somebody fix this bug now" is based on erroneous perception of what is going on.

Your complaint that the file corruption dialogue stops the rest of your downloads is more reasonable. I don't think that it is correct - my recollections of corrupt dialogues do not suggest that other downloads were halted - but I'm not absolutely certain because I wasn't looking for that. I think that file downloads stop for any number of reasons and that this is what you are seeing. However, I will take particular note next time I see a corrupt file.
