Suggestion

Just,some downloaders only downloads but not uploads ,this is usually depended on how the downloader provider configure it. What I suggest is to group similiar peers UA and measure how they upload. Then while uploading ,give priority to clients whose UA uploads more.

Use case

https://dl.xunlei.com/ Xunlei,as an example is an Chinese downloader who only upload to other Xunlei clients ,whose client name usually start with -XL0012 . by rating & treating peers differently by UA ,qbittorrent users can avoid unfriendly peers.
