there are 2 things you can do:
1. if there are not *that* many files in your torrent you can try to
cut the files out of the .torrent by hand....'man dd' is your friend
then. you can find all file-offsets in files.ini. of course this is 
only useful if there are only a few files included (like 2bins and
2cues - then i would advise this solution)

or the easy way:

2. you can delete the partial extracted files, stop mlnet, manipulate
the file_chunks entry for that file in your files.ini by setting the
first '3' to a '1'. then edit the file_present_chunks (it should look
like [ (0, <filesize_of_your_torrent>) ] )
and change it to [ (16384, <filesize_of_your_torrent>) ].
This way you force mlnet to re-download the first 16k of the file and
it will then try to split/extract the files again.
