How to store data to every single file block by block #98

By default, we specific a local file as torrent downloading destination. If that size of file is 1GB, the local file will be 1GB also even there only downloaded 10MB of actual data.

I want to improve the use ratio of storage in android devices. So I think can jlibtorrent support such feature: How to store data to every single file block by block. Or somethings similar.

I have seen the interface "StoragePlugin", but it doesn't like such a plugin.

this is because you're using full allocation
