not allocate unnecessary files in multi-files torrents

you know, at now if you choose not all files (for ex. only 3.avi) from torrent (that consist of 1.avi, 2.avi, 3.avi) to download there will be created not only the 3.avi but with high probability 2.avi also because of chunk (piece) size

is it possible to solve this like I saw in uTorrent - instead of 2.avi uT creates small file with size not more than 1 piece and keeps that extra piece in it? that will save a lot space from wasting

ps.. I think I am not first with this idea and you already discussed it but I cant find it, sorry

It has been discussed endlessly and realistically only with the latest libtorrent is this close to possible. http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/1827
