No.

If the space is reserved then it's used and du will see it. Otherwise
not. Try it and see. Don't be fooled by the apparent size of the
torrent, that's just the inode information. 'du' exists precisely
*because* the apparent inode size may be different from the real disk
usage because of sparse allocation, which BT uses to download sections
of the file out of sequence.
