I'm not a programmer, and I don't know exactly how the current file splitting method works, but I have a suggestion (and I'm sorry if it have already been requested, I couldn't find it...).

The problem: user share a file, and others start downloading from him. from some reason the user will stop sharing before anyone could finish the download and everyone has only the first chunks and missing the last ones.

The solution(?):maybe it's already working like that, but anyway, if every user would randomly pick the chunks, it would create more chunk-diversity. Even if the first user will stop sharing, all the other users could download the missing chunk from each other.

sounds dumb?

I hope not...

The user picks the rarest chunk. If there is more than one chunk that is that rare then the client picks one at random.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Really? And how emule determines how rare are the chunks?

eMule can't determine what's the rarest chunk in the whole network (global rarest) like a Bittorrent tracker does, but it determines the rarest chunk among all the clients it's connected to (local rarest) and that's pretty good as well.

Yes, as the connected clients usually represents the entire network for a particular file, it is!
