Tribler does not corrently handle BitComet, "Align File to Piece Boundary", padding files

[teddyrogers]

Tribler 8.0.7, is unable to process and handle correctly a torrent file created with BitComet that has enabled, "Align File to Piece Boundary", https://wiki.bitcomet.com/Align_File_to_Piece_Boundary

When viewing the torrent there can be many hundreds or even thousands of, "____padding_file", files in the torrent file list. Other torrent clients seem to correctly process and ignore these files and are not visible in the torrent directory/ file list.

Tribler recognises these files as separate individual files that it wants to download. If these are alignment files it should be safe to not download and fill with zeros or random data?
