Details:

When I download a file with mldonkey, it is too much fragmented (I get only 1
or 2 MB/S transfer rate when copying to another place).

Consider urgently implementing an option to create a non empty file (instead
of being empty, it could be prefilled with 0xXX). It isn't too hard (not more
than a couples of lines of code) and a great advantage.

P.D. And if you do so, the possibility to fill the gaps of other temp files
with 0xXX (for files that are already downloading).

Thanks.
