Run a scandisk -- you probably have 30+ MB of bad sectors or lost allocation units on your hard drive/s.
happened to me too with a verified a while ago.Didn't pay to much attention to it because I had the thing downloaded again in no time.
But what's all that about bad sectors or lost allocation units on the hard-drive? :huh:
Happened to me before and neglected. I redownload the file.
If you lose part of a download, the hard drive probably still has that space marked as 'used' -- ESPECIALLY if it failed due to a crash/power outage.Quote:

Scandisk can recover from that kind of damage by finding unallocated/unassociated pieces of files and recreates them as something.dat files in the root dir of the drive they're on.
I think that it just restarted because of the way Kazaa handles multiple groups, not because of crashing (in which case the download would have been deleted).
This post I just made in another similar topic has the answer.
