Details:

After files are removed from the incoming directory mldonkey-server
creates empty versions of them in the incoming directory. These file
creations happen every few minutes. This behaviour happens across
server invocations. I primarily use the bittorrent protocol with
mldonkey and have not verified that this behaviour happens with other
protocols.

I suspect this is related to mldonkey-server trying share chunks of 
completed files and not checking to see if the file still exists.
Some sort of 'touch' occurs and a ghost file is created.

This is annoying because the incoming directory is constantly populated
with the ghosts of files from ages past.

This bugs remind me the bug #1459.

This bug comes from the Debian BTS :
