Question for developers: do you really want to endlessly close these feature requests instead of entering it and forget about it? This is the third request in a week https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/20242 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/20250
Do you really think that sequential downloading can do any harm? But that's nonsense. It's much more harmful to stop/delete the torrent after downloading. There is no way you can control the "swarm health" and trying to do so seems very silly. These attempts have led to the fact that the client lacks a very important feature for many people.
