BT v3.3 doesn't allocate the disk space until it's needed.  (this is different
than prior versions.)

I just started mine to see how it behaved.  The curses interface is telling
I've downloaded about 10% less than the size of the file on disk.  My guess it
that it's coming in mostly sequentially.

I've never looked inside the download directory of a multi iso torrent
download.  I'd guess it's behaving fine.
