Is it out of the question for this to be an option then?  

For example, a command-line option can tell wine that the .exe being run should
not cause sparse files unless directly specified by the app.  Perhaps another
option would disable sparse file usage altogether.  Certainly debate can go on
about for ages what the default behavior should be.  But it does not seem
unreasonable to have the OPTION to emulate native windows behavior.

As far as uTorrent goes, I have the same frustrating results Mr. Blomenkamp
experienced.  Under WinXP there is no fragmentation.  Through WINE it is nearly
unacceptable on large files.

I would certainly appreciate the option to emulate the native windows behavior.
