OK, I'm not gnutella guru by any mean, but my point is: I have tried
to download Nothing Else Matters for 20 times with gtkg and sha1 never
matched - then I gave up. With FrostWire, I just downloaded the file
and everything went fine. Why - I don't know, but I suspect that it is
about file checksumming - so it's about having or not tth support. And
tth is not about checking if the while file is okay - it's about
checking which part of the file is corrupted and redownloading this
one without touching the rest. Of course with small file (this one has
about 6.8megs) it is not great problem to redownload it for a couple
of times (but not 20!!), imagine downloading some movie (like 700megs
large), and having to download it 5 times because just only one stupid
riaa source gave you /dev/random instead of the file itself...
