Re: [Mldonkey-users] How to import temp from newer eDonkey2000 clients

[Caoilte O'Connor]

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I tried catting the files the way 
you said and got the same results I did the first time. 

With these files,

1.1.part   1.13.part  1.17.part  1.20.part  1.24.part  
1.28.part  1.31.part  1.4.part  1.8.part                          
1.10.part  1.14.part  1.18.part  1.21.part  1.25.part  
1.29.part  1.32.part  1.5.part  1.9.part
1.11.part  1.15.part  1.19.part  1.22.part  1.26.part  
1.3.part   1.33.part  1.6.part  1.part.met
1.12.part  1.16.part  1.2.part   1.23.part  1.27.part  
1.30.part  1.34.part  1.7.part  

I did a 

cat 1.1.part ... 1.34.part > HASH_OF_FILE

then i moved the file to the temp directory and did a 
'recover_temp'. No luck sadly. I might try with a different 
download later, but I'm starting to think my temp files 
aren't recoverable.

If anyone has had a more recent success story, I'd be very 
interested.
