Hi @alaa-a-ali , Have you managed to find out how to do that? Because I also need it for a university research. Thank you very much for your attention :)

Hi,

You can reduce the download speed to a minimum. But you will need to download at least some portions of the file in order to see the peers.

Check out the 'download_rate_limit': 10000, variable

@CarlosLannister I understand, it's a good feature too. As you said, we need to download some portions of the file but will also be possible to limit the download's percentage (%)? Due to limited resources, it would be a huge help if I could download only, for example, 10% of a given file and monitor the peers at the same time.

Thank you very much your quick reply.

@CarlosLannister even when reducing the download_rate_limit the code still download the actuall video of the torrent and the code keep doing the seeding. is there away to get the peers & ips only in quick way without download the actuall video of the torrent ?
