Corruption
Naw, EDonkey brings down files in 8meg blocks, what happens is it will just re-download that block that is corrupt.
Sometimes I've found that it can get a bit confused and can take an age to finish the file off, I find that closing and re-opening the donkey sorts it out. Hope that helps

yup, NinjaGinger is correct.
At least eDonkey works in correcting these file corruptions, as 99.99% of all other peer2peer clients do not fix them properly.
Also you might notice the occassional time that the file you are downloading exceeds the filesize shown for the file. (eg you have 180MB downloaded so far while the file is supposed to be 167MB).
This is the same thing as the file corruption, where some sector size was bad & eDonkey just gone back to continue downloading/overwriting it. Eventually it will get done & the file will be the original size (167MB in this case).
The donkey is slow though & works typcially better if you get your links from sharereactor.com
PS
for future, better off getting help at this site: h``p://www.zeropaid.com or from the official eDonkey site.
In their forums they have answers for these typical types of questions. This forum doesn't really specialize in peer2peer clients, though we try to help when we can =)
