once upon a time, while i was watching those nice ok- and ick-,arg-,ooh!-signs appear within my splitfileframe, i had the same idea. but i'm quite sure that aborting the unsuccessful download prematurely will not do any good, because the last blocks that are requested for the garbage bin, because the download will not succeed due too much missing blocks, will not be requested and thus are not spread though freenet, making them drop off the net, which will lead to even more missing blocks for the splitfile and the following splitfile healing process! _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
