I was thinking about this just this weekend... Although I don't think
that there would be much purpose to it unless you were downloading a
_large_ file. There aren't many programs that this is
necessary/capable of (OpenOffice.org comes to mind), so it's better to
separately download the file. Besides, when you download with
bittorrent, you're supposed to leave the torrents open for other
people.

Be kind. Rewind.
