Previous Download Goes From 0 MB done to 900 MB Very Quick

Hello,

So I had an issue previously with horrible download speeds. I have that resolved, but now, I tried doing a download I had previously but when it finished it was pretty much corrupt, which didn't surprise me. I had a bunch of abrupt shutdowns and other issues when trying to resolve the speed issue. Anyway, I cleared out all the download stuff I could find, and now what it's doing is when I re-download the file and launch it, it will go from 0 MB downloaded to 900 MB (out of 9 GB total) in just a few seconds, then proceed normally at normal download speeds. Anyway, when it does this, the file does not complete correctly, and I have no clue where this 900 MB is coming from especially since I literally cleared everything I could find that's download related for this specific download, I even cleared my hard drives temp files a few times thinking that it might catch this random 900 MB. I'm using pretty much a majority of the default settings, I did change the download path after I resolved my download speed issue though thinking if I could trick it to thinking it was in a different place it would download fresh. Anyway, the only option I could think that I set that might have any bearing would be the Article Cache Limit to 128M since I have oodles of RAM and anything I can do to help with downloads resource-wise I would do.

The first 900M are the skipped par2 files.
As soon as the first one (the smallest) is complete the rest is sent to the back of the queue and considered downloaded.
They will be downloaded when needed for repairs.
