rTorrent 0.9.8, -jc Release 16 - allow to preallocate space for the whole torrent at once To enable, "system.file.allocate.set = 2". Currently, with system.file.allocate = 1, rTorrent preallocates space only after the file is opened for write. In many cases, it is preferable to preallocate space for the whole torrent at once, to reduce fragmentation of contents inside the torrent. It allows more efficient filesystem organization, where files that are likely to be read together are packed in contiguous area of the disk, improving the performance and I/O patterns of future read operations.
