Why does the donkey say looking when the d/l amount = the file size?

This happens when the donkey has found a corruption in the
file somewhere during the d/l. The donkey will
redownload that part of the file and replace the
corrupted portion with an uncorrupted portion.
Obviously this will make the file size seem bigger on
the donkey interface. No need to worry, perfectly
normal and actually one of the best donkey features.
You will know a file is done when it says "complete"

got feedback?
