What's the reason for MLdonkey to copy the temporary file to the finished one
when committing? Why isn't it moved to the commit location and renamed? That
way we do not need twice the HD space and the committing will take a lot less
time.

well if i'm not mistaking that's how the windows version of bittorrent
works..
it will not create a single temp file but will directly create all the files
contained in the torrent your are starting to download.. the files
information being described in the seed file you can easily do that..
that way all 2G+ downloads having multiple archive files in it would never
make any 2G+ prob..
and that would also solve a "problem" i had with mld bittorrent downloads
which is you need twice the download size of free space on your hd, one time
for the temp file, one time for the extracted files once the download is
finished.. it's not that bad when you download cd size archives but when you
go over 2G it's quite annoying..
