rTorrent stickz introduces a new feature to pre-allocate disk space for an entire torrent regardless if all files are downloaded. The benefit to sequence files for faster seeding. Potential disk throughput on HDDs is increased due to reduced random access.
This pull request documents the different types of disk space pre-allocation for rTorrent and allows the user to configure it based on their needs. It's disabled by default because it does not benefit SSDs. The user should manually configure as required.
