do not report download volume of webseeds to tracker #42

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

I often have torrents without any seeder.
Then I download the file by adding an URL seed and seeding it to the other
clients in the swarm.
Unfortunately this download lowers my dl/ul ratio which is reported for
this torrent to the tracker.
If there are not many downloaders, the ratio remains below 1 and the
tracker thinks I am a leecher.
If I download the file outside from qBittorrent/libtorrent and add it after
the download to qBittorrent, the downlaod volume is not counted.

It would be a nice feature to disable the reporting of this download volume
to the tracker.
The reporting of downloads from torrent seeds and peers should remain
unchanged.
