the server can't tell you chunk md4s, only clients - there seem to be
quite a some hacked emule clients around pretending having chunks but
sending compressed zero data to gain emule credits - i've seen one 
sending 3gb of data, but nothing usable.

Emule has the same problem, it's just not telling you 150% or so - but
if you look at file details you can see e.g. transferred 600mb, 
completed 500, lost due to corruption 100mb.
