To enable this, change the preallocation settings from '1' (sparse) to 
'2' (full preallocation) in this file:

 > grep prealloc ~/.config/transmission/settings.json
     "preallocation": 2,

I've built transmission 1.52 with a patch that makes falloc() full 
allocation by default :

although you'll still have to wipe out your ~/.config/transmission 
directory first if it already exists, or make the change described 
above. 1.52 will go to updates-testing after F-11 is released.
