What's Transmission dev teams stance on Super-seeding? Is it a intresting technique or just vapor?
My opinion is that, if it works and is implemented, it should be on by default when someone's creating a torrent. That's when it's most important to get the file out to as many as possible as quickly as possible.
I s currently in development, and probably wil be in 1.0 (no guarantees).
As currently super-seeding is automatically initiated if the conditions are right, but there will likely be a global preference to turn it off completely.

Transmission is near to the third major release and it's the only one between the major used clients to not support super seed.
In ten years from the beginning ot the discussion none is done, and it's a big problem for people who don't have much upload bandwidth to become a releaser and also to stop to leech.
With super seed people with many torrents and low upload bandwidth can help to mantain torrents live sending only specific pieces (rare ones).
I know there are a lot of things to do but I think it's now the time to give to this the right priority.
We're soon 20 years into this thread and it still isn't implemented even though it's an important feature.
If you developers/owners don't want to implement it, at least make a statement about it and say why.
Until now they just changed the planned release a few times and eventually changed the priority from "normal" to "low" 14 years ago.
It wouldn't even be much work because the super-seeding mode is already in libtorrent which Transmission uses as the engine.
