One never knows what to expect from a failing drive. :-)

It seemed that the end of the disc had fewer errors, but they may be 
harder to recover.

You may resume the rescue from where you were before with:

  ddrescue your_options_and_files -i 791401MB

or you may leave it working and it will arrive there in 2.6 days or so.


Now imagine how difficult it is to develop an algorithm that works 
reasonably well on all drives.
