Re: [Wget-dev] wget2 | Preallocate file before starting downloading (#450)

[Tim Rühsen]

`--preallocate` might be handy to check whether a file will fit on the 
disk/partition. Though fragmentation is not an issue on modern filesystems 
(maybe on Windows NTFS / FAT !?). As @darnir I see some non-trivial issues, 
e.g. with `Content-Encoding: gzip`. In this case the server-advertised file 
length is much smaller than the decompressed file (wget decompresses 
on-the-fly).
