It barely adds to Filesystem fragmentation. And any decent Journaling system 
will deal with easily.

Also, truncating the file like that is not always an option. Wget2 doesn't 
always get a clean exit. The machine may arbitrarily power off, or the user 
sends a SIGKILL. There's a bunch of other cases where we can't expect a clean 
shutdown. This was already discussed in another issue about keeping track of 
the last modified times.
