Quoting Alex Bennee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from ml.softs.gtk-gnutella.devel:
:Hmmm, I've often had BAD files turn up in ~/tmp that where OK (although
:they may not of had a good SHA1). Of course if you know what the SHA1
:should be and its Tiger Tree hash is available in the Bitzi catalog you
:could probably have a good stab at replacing the bad section.

You need far more than the TTH to be able to do that: you need the
actual Tiger *Tree*, down to some reasonable depth (say the topmost
10 generations).

The root hash is just as bad as the SHA1 of the file, in terms of
determining which parts are corrupted.
