Package: comix
Version: 3.1.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Using 'comix' to view a partial archive, (thank you 'amule'), tends to
fail.  My ad hoc fix to view the valid parts is to copy the partial
archive to '/tmp', attempt to fix with some appropriate util, (like
'pkzipfix.exe'), use 'unrar' or 'unzip' on any valid data, then view
the result with 'comix'.  It'd be convenient if 'comix' automated that.

Rationale:  Archive quality -- some archives are mislabeled; some
archives are big, and can take a long time to fetch, longer still if
the archive is rare.  Often just a skim of the pages already fetched
shows enough to decide whether it's worthwhile to continue, thus 
saving time and bandwidth.

HTH...
