I told eMule to download a large AVI file and immediately checked the option to download the parts needed for preview first. eMule has ignored this and been downloading chunks from the middle of the file. Here's a screenshot;



As you can see, all four of the sources have both the first and last chunks of the file, the option to download the preview parts first is checked, but yet eMule is downloading from the middle of the file.

The "bug" is probably in the wording, it has to say "Try to download parts needed for preview first" as you can read in Options -> Files where the option is Try to download preview chunks first

If the source being downloaded from has the preview chunks, what would stop eMule from being able to download them?

IIRC it will try to complete already started parts first. Once it has to select a NEW part, it will start downloading the preview chunks - but only if it recognizes the file extension as movie/music.
