[SUGGESTION] Add option to enable outgoing connections while seeding

Open officiallor opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

I saw an option in an android client called outgoing connections for seeding. As far as I understand, when the download is finished, then it just waits for other peers to initialize a connection to the seeder (in this case me). This is good when you have forwarded the port and everything but it makes it harder for someone not having the option to port forward, for example while using data or behind a VPN. It could be very useful to add a toggle for this option as well. I am not sure how is the property called in libtorrent. I can provide the link to the FOSS android torrent client if can be helpful.

I could check, if you'll provide example from Android app it will be very useful

I tried to understand what property it is in libtorrent without cloning but couldn't. The option is called outgoing connections for seeding in the app's settings.

Could you send a screenshout with exact setting from this app you want me to implement? It will be easier for me to find it in source code
