ahh, that'll be terrific then. ;-)

i've just noticed that most of the filenames are back to what they
should be now, most of them still show as 0 bytes completed, but the
ones that are downlaoding now appear to be recovering some of the lost
chunks.

would i be correct in assuming that it might take quiet some time for
the chunks to be completed?  a du -ks on temp shows some 9 gig of data,
and mldonkey is reporting 1 gig downloaded.   i'll be quite happy if the
other 8 gig gets recovered at some point!  ;-)

recover_temp seems to be returning almost straight away now, whereas
previosuly it was clearly processing stuff (90% cpu).  Does this mean
its finished its recovery, and any file names that still show as MD4
hashes are just plain toast?

oh well, easy come, easy go.
