On Windows platforms rclone will make sparse files when doing

**NB** on Windows using multi-thread downloads will cause the
resulting files to be [sparse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_file).
Use `--local-no-sparse` to disable sparse files (which may cause long
delays at the start of downloads) or disable multi-thread downloads
with `--multi-thread-streams 0`
### --multi-thread-streams=N ###
