Incomplete torrent

[adi]

I've noticed that, if I select just a few files to be downloaded from the torrent, deluge still makes all the files, but they all have 0 bytes in size, except those which are downloaded.
Why is that? It is very confusing... when I browse into the folder, I can't see what exactly I did download and what not. I have to check by it's size.

OK, in 0.5.8 version I see an improvement. Now Deluge doesn't make all the files, but still makes the files "close to" the ones selected to be downloaded. I mean, if I have 4 files in the torrent and I choose only file no.3 to be downloaded, Deluge creates (on my NTFS partition) file 3, but also file 2 and file 4, which are not downloaded, but still allocated and made.
I've noticed that uTorrent also downloads a small fraction of the "neighbor" files (somethig like 0,0x%), but the files are not created on the hard drive.

AFAIK, all torrent programs do such, it's because the chunks of data that the torrent splits up may be between actual files and if you don't want all of them it still has to download the chunk of the files you do want.

So then is there anything we as users can do to have them automatically deleted when we remove the torrent, or do we have to do it manually? Its harder for me than it is for the topic starter because I cant go by size (for some reason it shows up as its full size even though its only been partially downloaded). Utorrent had done it, so itd be cool if something could be instituted like that, if it hasnt already.
