multi-file torrent and goes back and forth on pieces - 1.3.5

Hi all,
This is on deluge 1.3.5 as well as earlier (1.3.4) . I have seen this peculiar habit when deluge is on multi-file torrents specifically large torrents (say 10 GB or more) where each file is around 300-400 MB and the number of files are around +30 or something. The piece size is say 2 MB or more . Now what I usually do in such torrents is that I attempt to download a single file at the time in order to save space. Now it's at the very last 3-4 pieces that I get into trouble and it takes a very long long time if they actually complete.

I do see this in the changelog but dunno if it means anything.
Fix not properly detecting when torrent is at end of queue
Looking forward to know if something can be done.

That is functionality controlled by libtorrent. It could well be that the pieces you are looking for are low in availability.
