Hi,

when I add a torrent to rtorrent it imediatly creates the file(s) of
that torrent. In case the torrent turns out to be bad (no peers, needs
user/pass, unknown, ...) this means one has to manualy remove the
empty files. It would be nicer if rtorrent only creates the file once
it recieves actual data for it.

This would also greatly speed up recovery time after a crash with
unstarted torrents. I have a 54G torrent of which I only need 700Mb
but it has to check it all.

MfG
	Goswin
