Prioritize rare pieces first

[Brianwuz]

I searched and could not find this. Apologize if already mentioned.

It would be good to have a feature that would set the priority of pieces to rarest first.

Example: I am downloading a torrent (files), 5 people have 99.4% and 1 person has 100%. That would make the .6% that only one person has as rare pieces. I know the 5 people are already looking for this .6%, but what if they are low bandwidth and I have a higher bandwidth? I would rather grab that .6% first then be able to share with the rest then take the chance of that 100% seeder drop out/stop seeding and missing it. I have been downloading torrents where I get most of it, but the source goes away and it never gets finished. I have had torrents last week where all people coming up as sources have 99.7% and the full source never showed up again. That was a waste of download. Especially when it's over 10Gigs.

 

Thanks,

Brian

That's the default behavior.
