Dowloading Last Few Megs

or so that is the impression of the user.
In addition, sometimes the source servers are shut down or the source files removed,
leaving the user downloading them with incomplete files, which miss only a very
small part indeed.
My proposal is to spped up the downloading when it gets close to conclusion, either
increasing automatically its priority, or increasing the chunk of megs that get
transferred before leaving the source queue.

I don't think you can get file from servers.

In fact it is implemented.

Which means lengthen your waiting time in queue...

What exactly 'is implemented' - change of priority when file is nearly completed? It's quite pointless at the downloader's side, and plesse check my previous message about uploaders.

I think you misread the request. It was asked to upload somewhat more than one chunk when it could complete the file.

I don't think he did.
If someone wants a favour in the upload queue then someone has to pay a price for that in the waiting queue.

That's what we already have now, no changes required: just patiently wait while making another round in the waiting queue for the last incomplete part.
