Show Availability as Seeding

Suggestion

Dear Project Team,

Is it possible to display Availability as Seeding? This way, I could stop seeding files with high availability scores and keep those with lower scores. Also, please count me in, as I am also seeding based on availability.

Best regards, Kammy

Are you talking about feature similar to this?

No, I am referring to the availability score (a number) already provided for downloading torrents. I would like to have this score displayed for seeding torrents as well. This way, I could focus on seeding torrents with low scores.

Best regards, Kammy

Thank you! I can now see the score on seeding torrents. However, it seems the score isn’t counting for other seeders. Nevertheless, the score is still useful information for me.

Btw, this option should be enabled by default. So it's a user mistake of disabling it.

It shows availablitiy of connected peers. But when you are seeding, the client does not keep connection with other seeds. Ultimately, just look at the seeds counter - they have 100% by definition. Count as Seeds * 100% to get availability.

Hmm, that's weird. Then we are actually lacking potentially great performance gains from it out of the box.

Duplicate of numerous requests for the “Seeding limits based on seeds (or availability)” feature.

@HanabishiRecca Please feel free to submit a PR.

piece_extent_affinity is not enabled by default either.

when this is true, create an affinity for downloading 4 MiB extents of adjacent pieces. This is an attempt to achieve better disk I/O throughput by downloading larger extents of bytes, for torrents with small piece sizes
