    Find yerself a copy of DivFix....I think the newest one is 1.06 It's an awesome little freeware program for fixing avi files. It may not work with that much missing but give it a try, it has worked for me when I had some missing data. It is also fantastic for fixing other errors, like when the replay stops or looks wierd. Everyone should have this program, it's tiny, free and bloody usefull.

    Note: Once you use DivXFix, you __CAN'T__ resume your download anymore.

    So, if you prefer resuming the download at some point, make a copy of your AVI and use DivXFix for the copy.

    DivXFix basically just writes keyframes, etc again for the AVI and by messing up original AVI settings it changes the structure of the AVI and therefor resuming the download messes up the whole file that even DivXFix can't repair it anymore.
