Interesting, but why won't you let the system handle the writing of large amounts of bytes, instead of writing each one of them, byte by byte in your program?

If you replace

Code:
Dim filetopump = IO.File.OpenWrite(sfd.FileName)
        Dim size = filetopump.Seek(0, IO.SeekOrigin.[End])
        While size < filesize
            filetopump.WriteByte(0)
            size += 1
        End While
        filetopump.Close()

With

Code:
Dim filetopump = IO.File.OpenWrite(sfd.FileName)
filetopump.Position = filesize-1
filetopump.WriteByte(0)
filetopump.Close()

The code will be simpler (no loop needed) and it will also get the same job done A LOT faster, because the system handles writing all the zero bytes in more optimized manner instead of your code having do the same thing "manually".
