BitComet introduced so called "padding files" some versions ago.
Let's cite wikipedia:
Well, as they are in fact REALLY nasty, as they make navigation in the files section difficult (because there is one for each regular file), I created a ticket which hopefully describes how to deal with them in a good manner.Starting with version 0.85 (Early 2007), BitComet added an option to its torrent maker that ensures that no two data files in a multi-file torrent occupy the same BitTorrent "piece." This helps enable BitComet to download different parts of a multi-file torrent from non-BitTorrent sources such as http/ftp servers or the ED2K network. To accomplish this, BitComet fills the remainder of each last "piece" with an intervening padding file. While these small and harmless files are transparent to the BitComet user, they can be an annoyance to users of other clients who must deal with them both during and after the download.
