:angry: i was trying to dl a 560 meg bin file and had about 20 megs left. the power went out and stopped all transfers of course. when i turned kazaa back on to resume dling the dat file was gone. i checked prior to turning kazaa on and the file was there. but gone when resumed. any ideas? i realize this file is gone but i would like to know what caused it to disappear so as to not have to restart dl if i stop them. :lol:

crashing and things of that nature will corrupt the dat files and klite deletes corrupt dat files :lol:

Try data recovery software like EnCase (http://www.encase.com), but since the file was being written to at the moment of the failure, I doubt you'll get anything.

Get an IPS system or at least a mini-generator with enough power to give you five seconds of delay.

due to slow dl speed i had left kazaa on all night. power went of during that time. no power back up (allready have 1 ty) will help me when i'm asleep. B)
