This seems to be happening more frequently. A file, say that's 5gb, will download 4gb and then megadownloader will say it's completed.

I've tried to keep the incomplete file and then re-add the link but it just duplicates and downloads it all over again.

Is there any way round this? Really annoying when you're on a data cap and shit keeps wasting data.

Never had that but it frequently used to miss parts of videos while registering as complete, leading to media players/programs stopping when they reached the missing part. Changing the settings to 1 connection per file solved it, maybe it might help with this too?

I've had this happen to me as well. Good thing it wasn't just me. I just use Jdownloader instead when possible cuz megadownloader also slows my internet down to a crawl every time

Are you downloading it on a directory other than your hard disk drive? Like, for instance, a USB flash drive?

I'm asking because FAT32 USB drives have a maximum file size limit of 4GB.

The 4GB limit is a FAT32 limitation, it has nothing to do with your storage medium.

This has happened to me too but not sure why

Is this just a megadownloader incident?

This happened to me with the Seinfeld 15GB download. It said finished but it actually downloaded just half. Tried re-adding the link and 'force re-check' it a la utorrent and then realised the option to check doesn't exist. It simply overwrites existing files and downloads them again.

yes but it makes me still wanna redownload it.

I've had it happen when I was downloading to my SSD and the drive became full. Missing items were downloaded when I made sufficient space. Now I always send them to my NAS, which has tons of space.
