So, is it possible for the Data Integrity Checker to get kTorrent to re-download the missing/corrupted chunks rather then have to download the entire torrent again?

As I've just pulled down a 5 gig torrent, I'd rather not experiment to find out.

That's exactly what it does.

Just to basically agree with everyone that has had this issue and fixed it... Use the latest developer build!

I was using 2.0.3 on Dapper, which was corrupting my downloads. I dloaded and built the latest Novemember (2.1.something) build and it worked like a charm!

For newbs... To build in Dapper, make sure you have the following packages installed then follow the instructions on the ktorrent dload page:

make
gcc
g++

(sudo apt-get install make gcc g++)

<edit>Just as a side note, I was only getting corruption on large torrents (around 8GB or so).</edit>

I am publishing debs for development snapshots, for Ubuntu Dapper and Edgy

It's more sane than trying to compile and install it manually.

Good call! If nothing else, it'll save me time (the reason I switched from Gentoo )

Thanks!
