Download a torrent file that has a single large (ie ~700Mbyte) file in it. Then use rtorrent to download it. You'll end up with a large file. Do a "filefrag -v <file>" on the resulting large file and post/check the result. If filefrag does not exist, then install package e2fsprogs.
Now do the same download, with the following command, on another directory:
You'll end up with the same large file, albeit download from ctorrent. Do a "filefrag -v <file>" on the resulting file as well. Compare results.
