How can I reduce the amount of temporary space qBittorrent uses?

I was just downloading a 37GB torrent. As soon as it finished my drive recovered 19GB of free space. Apparently during downloading that's how much data was in temporary files that were deleted when it finished.
Not all files in the torrent were selected for download and I use sparse files. I am running on Windows but I think this is a generic problem, not OS specific. qBt V4.2.5.
How can I prevent this happening? I want to limit the amount of temporary data stored, or ideally reduce it to zero and just have data written directly to the files. I have an SSD so speed should not be an issue.
