edonkey 2000 question.

I downloaded a file off of edonkey 2000 and even though it downloaded the whole thing it still says looking and its not in my incoming folder.
It is in my temp folder, one is a big file and one is a tiny file. How do I make edonkey complete my download? I tried under several servers and all of the people I connect to it says " no needed parts"

Any help?
 
That's very common. All you have to do is exit and re-launch edonkey. It will mostly go, hashing -> looking -> completing -> complete. In some cases, downloaded files don't move to incoming folder like you said, even if the download is complete. Just rename the file in the temp folder. If the temp file name is 5.part, and if that is a movie, just change the file name, 5.part -> your_movie.avi (or mpg), and enjoy. I took movie files for example because this weird things mostly likely happen when you download very big 600~700 MB files. If it is just sub 10 MB application program, it generally doesn't present any problems.

 
I tried connecting and reconnecting several times but it just goes hashing-looking and it stays on looking.

There are 2 files. One part is a PART file and one is a MET file.
The part file is big and the met file is only 2KB.
Anyone know how to get this to finish?

Thanks
 
I get that a lot too. Usually after I close it down and it rehashes, it downloads a few more bites from someone else and the file is complete. Try connecting to different servers.

Here's something from their faqs: link
 
I'll agree with what kornermi said.. if it refuses to complete once you've restarted edonkey, try copying the file, and then renaming the copy to whatever the file should be named. Sometimes the hard part is figuring out which file is the correct one, especially if you're simultaneously in the middle of downloading 15-20 large files. You can't play the 5.part file while edonkey is running, so you can either quit edonkey, or copy the file first. I believe the .met file just stores the hash info.
