in this case mldonkey cant save the last status of downloaded bytes to
disc and thinks these parts are absent. so it has to redownload those
missing parts

this is something completely different: you downloaded corrupted data!
mldonkey tries to verify after download but the hashes did not
match. so mld redownloads those parts but counts the corrupted data as
already downloaded....so you can get above 100%....happens sometimes
but you can use the command verify_chunks <file_number> to check this
without restarting mldonkey
