pre-allocate all files

I don't see the benefit in prealocating files, since neo uses a asynchronous IO there should be no problems allocating large files on the fly.
 
It seems that it's implemented instead... why did you changed idea ? It's even not switchable.
 
There is an major issue when writing to an empty many GB large file at the end.
such an action triggers windows to fill all the empty space before the written area with 0's and that takes a loooong time, so long infact that the buffer runs full and neo must stop downloading for many minutes for the write operations to finish.
Thats not good and the only proper fix is to preallocate the file.
