Did knew, that the client does that with the tit-for-that.
In an ideal world the network would prioritize to upload to high speed like webseeds, so the webseeds can distribute even faster for everyone else.
Or do I make a mistake in my mind and the network already distributes efficiently and it is not needed.

Try downloading any well distributed torrent and you'll see your bandwidth capacity automatically maxxed out. The gradual decision with an emerging selection of better sources always leads to that. Bittorrent doesn't really have an efficiency problem
