I use LibreTorrent since I only have mobile data. It’s nice.
I don’t know how to share URL from F-Droid app, it just tries to export the APK file…

Edit: Oh, I am not sure if it was fixed/improved but previously it would pre-allocate full file size on external storage which would just write corresponding size of probably zeroes and then gradually overwrite it.
Perhaps this changelog entry is related to a fix:
POSIX Disk IO option in the settings. This should solve the downloading problem on some Android file systems, for example exFAT on SD cards.
I didn’t try it as my current phone only works with stupid 4GB per file FAT32 so I don’t use the SD card for torrents anymore.
This was a huge problem when I was downloading Wikipedia ZIM file (110GB), it crashed a few times, and even when it finally worked the pre-allocation took a few hours (I think) as it had to write 110GB of nothing.
Edit 2: Yep. Zeros. This file shows up as “110GB” but doesn’t actually take up any (noticeable) free space on internal storage and it gets generated immediately. On SD card (at least in prior versions) it would actually write all of that first, which unless you were looking to partially prevent data recovery is unwanted.
