2 suggestions for FDM 3.9.5

Hello everybody :)

I use FDM for years now and it's the first time I ran into trouble with it so I'm going to propose 2 things that would've helped me one way or another.

1) Extend the "ZIP-preview" to other archive files like .7z .rar .iso etc.
2) Please consider to make a "Re-check file" option (just like BitTorrent has "Force Re-Check"...) in order to verify a finished/non-finished download.

The reason I'm asking for these things is that I just had a faulty download of a gamearchive that is more thna 20 GB huge. There was a .md5 checksum included but I couldn't see it before the whole archive was openable because the initial archive is a .7z. As it turns out the main installer-archive has a few errors and won't unpack (probably because my PC crashed one time during DL). When these kinds of things happen in a torrent client you can always do a recheck and then faulty pieces will be deleted + redownloaded, which will just take a few seconds. As it is now with FDM, I fear I have to redownload the whole archive again.

I hope you see the benefits from my point of view.

And much thanks for the very best DL manager that is to be found on the www.

Keep it up!
