The tracker is ignoring the `num_want` param in the announce request.

It seems the tracker is also ignoring the num_want param in the announce request.

num_want is the number of peers the client wants in the announce response (peer list).

See https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0015.html

Right now:

  • We always return less than 74.
  • We ignore the num_want.
