Actually these files very often can be rescued by getting rid
of a certain amount of the incriminated chunk.  I do by hand
the following:

* take note of the offset generating the mismatch;

* quit gtkg;

* edit fileinfo by subtracting 1-3Mb out of the chunk causing
  problems, the free space bounday after it, and the DONE field;

* restart gtkg and the mismatch usually disappears.

The 1-3Mb amount is arbitrary chosen in doing by hand, but gtkg
can do automatically a much better job in backtracking in, say,
128kb increments, up to achieving a match.  It would be nice
to have such a feature, it very often saves several hundred
Mb of downloads.

Cheers,

Mihai
