Archive.org padding files

[SpangleLabs]

This is similar to Ticket #450 from a long time back: ​https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/450

But archive.org torrents also contain these kind of empty padding files to get files to end on a block, see a forum thread of theirs here: ​https://archive.org/post/1068281/torrents-padding-files-are-a-problem And it seems like deluge fails to download these sometimes, and since I can't see them in the folder, I can't just manually create a file of zeros to solve it myself. (And can't manually download the archive.org files to throw in there either, as deluge ignores them on recheck due to missing padding files)

It would be nice, and more efficient, if Deluge could automatically fill out those archive.org padding files without needing to download them. An example I've found is this one: ​https://archive.org/details/scrapheap_challenge Which has zero seeds and everyone sitting on 100.0% because of a missing scrapheap_challenge_meta.sqlite and the associated 1.4MB padding file. As I said, downloading the sqlite file from archive.org and putting it in place doesn't work, as I can't put the padding file in place too.

Deluge lists the missing padding file as .____padding_file/149, but I do not see the .____padding_file directory in the download directory at all.
