Most torrent clients already prefer rare chunks, assuming the user doesn't turn on "Prefer chunks in streaming order" or whatever similar option the client has.

- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoI don't know of a torrent client that will allow me say "download at least these files of the torrent, and the 100mb of anything else that's the most likely to help the swarm". Downloading the chunks that are the rarest first is different than downloading only rare chunks - although it's good that some of the infrastructure is already in place.
