Subject: "download last chunk" feature insufficient for AVI preview

Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 04:21:08 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: amule
Version: 2.2.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

   When selecting "Try to download first and last chunks first" in the
preferences, aMule ensures that at least 3 MB of data is downloaded at
the end of the file. This is not enough for previewing most AVI files,
as the index size is closer to 12 MB for a typical 2-hour movie.

   The attached patch ensures that aMule downloads at least 14 MB of
data at the end of AVI files.

Subject: Closing: Fixed in upstream 2.2.6

Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:26:29 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

in 2.2.6 this was fixed by upstream. In bigger files, it still isn't 
enough, For example an avi with 1.5GB size has an index that's needed 
for preview of around 50 MB. The right size can only be determined when 
analizing the file, which is out of amules scope.
