Summary0001538: can't stop allocating files
DescriptionI selected to preallocate files in options.
When I start a new download the file is preallocated to the disk, and while the allocation is not finished it is not possible to cancel the download.
It should be possible to block the preallocation and to cancel the download

Allocation usually happens in a single system call (ThreadTasks.cpp 546++) which can't be aborted. If cancel were allowed, aMule would have to wait until system call finishes to finally delete the part file (which would be even weirder).
