Qbittorrent: Prefer seeding torrents with a low number of available seeds

[username-password]

The idea behind this is to prevent torrents which lack seeds from dying instead of _wasting_ bandwidth seeding torrents that have an excess number of seeds already. In my current setup qBittorrent is allocating most of its seeding bandwidth to a large number of popular torrents that arguably don't need any additional seeding, while a small number of torrents that are lacking seeds but have peers rarely show up in the upload slots and remain in a state of limbo. Note that this is not a connectivity problem. An option to prioritize torrents for seeding according to their seed counts in reverse order, either automatically in the background or through a hard limit option that lets the user specify to only seed torrents that have less than X number of seeds, could solve this problem.

I'd like this function myself. I'm limited by how much bandwidth I can use for qBittorrent and I always favour sharing torrents that have very few seeds, usually for a long period of time.
