Suggestion

It would be very useful to prioritise certain uploads:

  1. pinned favourites. So critical files (or old classic tv shows, or faq style teaching videos ) will be attended to first ; and/or
  2. being able to prioritise a Low Seeder Count file. Give it a higher prioritty for an hour and recheck. This I'm thinking of because classic files and tv show back-ups often only have 1 or 2 real seeders, so it would be nice get multiple copies of those back-ups out into the network when the rare request for it comes in. [I recent lost a drive with many classic shows on, and many are just 1[3] seeders]

Use case

Tomorrow People was a great show and the Beeb is lousy for spreading Dvd/BR copies.
I had a copy but lost it, just had to download another - it had One seeder. Be great to prioritise a core "classics" list to keep these favourites alive, or at least try to get low clusters spreading faster.
One of the treasures of Torrenting is we Archive old material that is no longer commercially viable or that the networks are strategically trying to destroy, and we keep all these random gems alive.
It also is a way to spread official documents but that service is reduce because currently there is no way to prioritize mission critical files - so no point implementing a server if it can't do it's official job when required.

Extra info/examples/attachments

any old show
It'll have one or two seeders - so slow block spreading
if we could make sure duplicates are created faster the the survival of the file would be better, so as 2-6 peers also tag in they'll be duplicated faster, less chance of last minute lost blocks. It also means the peer spread of files will increase (sort of like a "super-seeder-lite").

Current ranking split the rarer files bandwidth to popular shows with 50-2000 that really don't need the same attention that a smaller torrent needs
