hmm...this should not happen unless the file was modified. mldonkey
should recover all complete chunks. Whats quite possible is that the
last missing 3.4% are spread over many chunks (even 1 byte missing
could make a whole chunk corrupted) - so as azureus chunks are 256kb
and edonkey-chunks are 9.5MB this effect could render more data
useless (=not downloaded) on mldonkey than on azureus.

Apart from the 0/1/2 display mldonkey does not save downloaded areas 
but saves *not* downloaded areas in
     file_absent_chunks = [
      (0, 68096000);}
That means that data is missing from file offset 0 - 68096000 bytes.
(at least afaik)
