Random wireless connection failures - any problem?

Hiya,

i did a search for this on google, the forum search engine, looked it up in the manual, FAQ and so on, but i can't seem to find it.

I'm using a usb wireless internet adapter (Netgear). As we all know, wireless internet tends to lose connection at random moments, destroying downloads, loading videos on youtube etc. Now, if i'm downloading a rather large torrent, it's quite a pain if you have to start over.

My question is: suppose i'm torrenting something and my wireless internet suddenly loses connection, then reconnects after a minute, will there be any data corruption in my torrent or anything? Will the torrented file be ok or will there be broken parts in it at the point where the connection failed?

It's a rather large file and internet here is limited, so i can't just wait and see after it's done, just to torrent it again. µTorrent continued the download immediately when the connection was fixed and even had some very small download numbers without any connection to the internet (possible bug?).

Thanks for the help.
