Hello. I made a little mistake in the guide. When I say to concatenate 
all chunks I think I didn't spell the name of the chunks correctly. It 
should be:

cat filenumber.?.part filenumber.??.part > HASH_OF_THE_FULL_FILE

where filenumber is the number of the file you are importing from 
Edonkey2000. It is the same as typing, for example for download nr. 34:

cat 34.1.part 34.2.part 34.3.part ... 34.10.part 34.11.part ... 
34.69.part > HASH_OF_THE_FILE

It just uses bash builtin filename glob expansion.

I don't remember which was the exactly naming scheme used by 
Edonkey2000, so, if you give me the output of "ls -l xx.*.part" I could 
help better.

Using the process I described, I was able to recover partial downloads 
from Edonkey2000 into mldomkey some time ago. I've not used Edonkey2000 
again since then. 

Good luck
