Version 3.2.1 using KDE 4.2.2

If I am downloading a file and change its priority to "Do not download" the chunks from that file that are in the process of downloading are erased. I would prefer KTorrent to behave and complete started chunks and download no more new chunks.

Also I wonder why KTorrent uses the term "Chunk". That is related to emule, not torrent.

Why ?

We have been using it since the dawn of time, I have long since forgotten why the term was chosen, probably because it sounded good..

The main reason is to flush the cache of incomplete chunks before switching client.
