Description
when downloading torrents with file-allocation=prealloc and select-file=1,2,3
aria will create too many files (more than the selected files)
example:
┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
chunks: │ 1 │ 2 │ 3 │ 4 │ 5 │ 6 │ 7 │ 8 │ 9 │
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘
┌─────────┬───┬────────────┬──────┐
files: │ 1 │ 2 │ 3 │ 4 │
└─────────┴───┴────────────┴──────┘
with select-file=2 aria will create the files 1,2,3
because files 1,2 share the chunk 3
and files 2,3 share the chunk 4
bug is known, its even in the docs ^^

Note
In multi file torrent downloads, the files adjacent forward to the specified files are also allocated if they share the same piece.
