Default Corrupted Files

I am sorry, stupididiot69er, but I do not think your argument is valid, let me explain why.

First, most files chosen for downloading comes from several sources, if one of those sources is corrupt then LW (or LW Pro) should be able to discard the corrupted portion, drop the corrupted source and continue to download the remainder of the file.

Secondly, LW hashes incoming files then reassembles them on your PC, therefore if the checksum on a downloading file does not add up then it should be possible to go back to where the error occurred then discard it.

Finally, I am sure that like me you have seen LW complete a download, verify the file and then restart part of the download process that, I presume, it could not verify. If an unverified file can be re-downloaded then it should also be possible with a part corrupted file.

Something for the LW people to think on.
