I once had the same problem and I just copied the file to the incoming
directory and started the download again. After restarting MLdonkey it builds
the hashes of the new file in incoming and recognizes that the new download
needs some of the chunks and copies them. After that you can savely delete
the file in the incoming directory.
I'm not quite sure if this is working without restarting the MLdonkey.
I just restarted MLdonkey.
Another way is to copy the file into the temp directory but you have to name
the file like the hash number of the complete download means you have to know
this hash first. After doing so you have to do a 'recover_temp'.
