Oh and I found my answer:
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/943
Actually the Pre's Internal memory is VFAT... Therefor prealloc of memory is essential for the filesystem... nothing I can do there
expect maybe use the work-around suggested (complicated!), or maybee lower app priority... If you think of something don't hesitate to reply!
