Lightbulb Or better even, do it like GetRight

Hi,

I just read a suggestion (10-22-2001 "Segmet download improvement") saying that you ought to reservere disk-space as huge as the complete file you are downloading by creating one huge empty file and then have different threads write to it at the place they are downloading.
That would save a lot of time. btw, I do have a fast disk but it still takes time if it gets full... :-)

It would solve the problem I indicated and it would not require to have different versions for different formats like FAT, NTFS etc.
