Have you reconfigured gnunet to support such a large amount? I think
that has to be done manually. 

My personal experience is that if a file is currently in gnunet, 
it comes through. It might happen that the original inserter 
has fled before anybody has successfully downloaded the
file, and thus its available only partly. Also, some people
might have inserted the content during a time when the
datastore code had a bug allowing blocks to disappear,
or even worse, they might still run old code.

If you feel in doubt of gnunet working or having some bug,
try the two scripts in contrib/, "junkinsert.sh" and "junklookup.sh"
which are enough to test the basic functionality by harmless and
fresh (previously undownloaded by you) content. For example, I've 
always been able to download the daily piece of junk inserted by
Christian, who runs a 24h node. Try to fetch some, or insert 
a some of your own and ask if anyone can get it.
