Well of course any file is incomplete until the upload is finished. Do you mean that users do not want a file until they can be sure that they will get all of it and not just a part? My understanding was that the system allowed a user to get a file piece by piece from several sources, and if only one user were involved that would put a conserable onus on him, particularly for large files. For instance a few months ago I downloaded D.W.Griffith's film Intolerance, which is 2gb in length. I can't remember the statistics now, but I know it took more than a day and I'm sure there were always several users involved. Certainly the diownload did not stall - at least it didn't when I was checking it - which it might have done with a single user if he logged out.

Those options are not present in vn.5.1.4 which I am using at the moment. Do I need to upgrade?
