The "finish allocation" button seems to have a misleading name. I also thought it had something to do with banning peers, but I read something on the ABC forum on SourceForge that it has to do with your hard disk space allocation, i.e. do you want to automatically reserve the required amount of space on your hard drive that is needed to store the entire BT download. Otherwise it allocates as it goes along*
