I have seen such behavior in Ktorrent-2.2.5 and 3.1.2. The former has tabbed windows for downloads and uploads. After download of a file finishes, it moves to the upload window. Here manual data integrity checks may cause the download to move back and get corrected. Once I skipped the final manual check and got a bad Suse iso (corrected it with ktorrent again, only after k3b complained). Best A. Mani -- A. Mani Member, Cal. Math.
