it's normal, since 1.72, the defaul file preallocation is set to 2(full allocation), only after the file is allocated, the downloading starts.

when allocation, NMT would freeze since the busy CPU of NMT
you can check this by a ftp client to watch the download file would increase bit by bit, for a 30G file, it would cost 10 minutes, maybe still less.

so be patient, or to use the ftp client to watch the download file.
i like this full allocation mode because it reduces much more file fragments.

however, you can change the allocation mode in /share/Apps/Transmission/.transmission/setting.json file.
first stop all the torrent downloading,
then use CSI to stop Trans.
change the file
