If your download is stopped, but you still ahve the partial download files on your disk this might be a method to salvage what you have.

== Guide to fix corrupted downloads ==

Always remember to backup files before attempting to change or correct anything with these files!

This guide is for users who for some reason has a corrupt download. You will need to download the SF-IOM mod to complete the guide. Download the binaries and unrar them to some location on your hard drive.
=== Recover the link for the file ===

You can find all the ed2k links of current downloads in the downloads.txt file located in eMule's install directory. Remember to choose the right one.
=== Recreate the .met file ===

Use the file link to start the download in the morph mod. You should start the download paused, since you don't want to actually start downloading the file. This can be done in eMule's preferences. Check which .part.met number it was assigned which can be done by right clicking the file -> Show File Details -> Part.met File. Now exit the SF-IOM mod and delete both the .part.met file and .part of the new download. Rename the old .part file (from the broken download) to the number of the new .part file (the one you just deleted) eg. 001.part. Now restart the SF-IOM mod. It will ask if to recover the download and you answer "Yes". A new .part.met file with no gaps will be created.
=== Let the morph mod start downloading the file ===

Start downloading the file in the morph mod. It will do the following things the official can't:

* Ask for a hashset for a gap-less file, and persist, trying client after client, until one agrees to send a valid hashset.
* Upon receiving the hashset, it will rehash the file, and detect which gaps are complete, and which still need to be downloaded. It will only share the confirmed complete chunks after that.

=== Continue the download ===

Completing all of the above steps you should now have saved your broken download. You can now continue the download in either your prefered eMule client or continue using the morph mod.

Saving broken downloads this way has one large advantage. Completing the guide you will now have a back-up of all of your .part.met files stored in the .part.met index, so if one of you downloads are lost again, you will only need to start up the SF-IOM/morph mod and answer "Yes" when it asks if to recover the download. You won't have to do anything else, everything will be done for you. This won't, however, apply to files you start downloading after you switch back to you preferred eMule client, only those you were downloading while using SF-IOM.

Credit goes to SlugFiller and the SF-IOM mod, current mod that has the import feature is the morph mod.
