Files corrupted by iTunes?
I noticed that random mp3 files will not play. I opened the wuala gui and found that these files are now only 1k in length. I have the files all downloaded to my Windows XP machine and imported into iTunes over the W drive. I opened one of the 1k files in Notepad and found that it only contains the ID3 tag. I suspect at some point that iTunes decided to update the tag and the filesystem rewrote the entire file as opposed to just updating the tag.
Any ideas?
The file is clearly marked as downloaded in the UI so I'm not sure what else I can do.

Inappropriate?Hi paf0,
We are really sorry for that. Your assumption is right - it looks like iTunes tried to update the mp3 file. But instead of updating some parts, Wuala deleted the original file content and wrote only the updated mp3 tags.
A few days ago, we found a bug which could be directly related to your problem. Todays update contains this bugfix and I hope it will also fix your issue (as I could not reproduce your problem, I cannot test it..).
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do :(
Edit: I assume these are your files and you have write permissions?
I’m sorry

Yes these are my files and I have write permission. Would it be possible to have an optional read only integration? I would rather iTunes not be able to modify anything. -
Inappropriate?i could not reproduce it with itunes on mac. When metas or tags are changed via itunes, wuala delelte the original file and upload it again - completely.
as fas as i noticed by now.. well. haven ́t heared via itunes since the last update. maybe something changed..
I’m unsure

Inappropriate?can't reproduce it either here. at least with the current version, everything seems fine -- we'll deploy that soon.
