Could it be that it is allocating the storage for the object you are downloading?
I know that some binary versions of rtorrent do preallocate space before triyng to download (slow startup)
While others do sparse allocation of the files and only allocate the segments they are currently downloading (you get a painfully fragmented filesystem)
I do not remember if this is something configurable at run-time or only at build time, check the doc.
Besides that ususally the initialization is quite resource hungry, on my debianized sheevaplug it freezes for a few seconds (depending on object sie), maybe on a mobile device it is not that quick.

P.S. what's the point in using a mobile phone to dload stuff over bittorrent (aside from the nice technical exercise ;-)
