Their use. ensures that no two data files in a multi-file torrent occupy the same BitTorrent "piece".
They are supposed to be hidden or invisible to BitComet users but can actually harm the performance in other clients because these files are transferred,
which takes up bandwidth.

I'm pretty sure it's due to the way MAC torrent software does it.

There is a way to turn it off when creating a torrent to upload.
