Question Splitting download segments byte loss?

Hello,

I noticed it only once and it's difficult to reproduce, so I'm asking here if anyone have noticed something similar.
I was watching the download window completing one of those 735M downloads, just one candidate was uploading the last segment:
[1] <m> bytes of <m> bytes complete.
[2] <x> bytes of <n> bytes downloading.
[3] <o> bytes of <o> bytes complete.
Then another host was connected (busy) so segment [2] was splitted:
[1] <m> bytes of <m> bytes complete.
[2] <x> bytes of <n-(n-x)/2> bytes downloading.
[4] 0 bytes of <(n-x)/2> bytes queued.
[3] <o> bytes of <o> bytes complete.
As the download of [4] never started the segments are joined just before <x> reaches the <n-(n-x)/2>-barrier:
[1] <m> bytes of <m> bytes complete.
[2] <x> bytes of <n-1> bytes downloading.
[3] <o> bytes of <o> bytes complete.

The downloaded file was corrupt, so where was the byte gone?

I think <x> was odd at the segment splitting point.
Maybe this is a division remainder bug. Or something else went wrong...

Ohh... good observation. Thanks....
I was able to reproduce it and integrate the fix in the already freezed code for the next release.
You will see the release and fix during the next days.

Good reaction time. I'm quick in finding bugs but you're fixing bugs even more quickly!

I hope I understand you right and you like to say: "It works now", or??? ;-)

Yes!

Oh, now you have released 0.7.3 so it's no longer "unstable" :-)
