Combine "download in sequential order" and "first and last piece first" in to a single option #5875

As I understand it, some media need also the last piece of a file to be able to play when not fully finished. Thats ok, but why not having it as part of functionality of the sequential download, always going for that last piece too. Does it brings considerable drawbacks if enabled when not needed? I dunno what others do, but I always check both checkboxes because I dont really know if last is needed or not. I doubt most users do.

@LordNyriox with qbt 3.3.7? libtorrent 1.0.10:

  • fixed inverted priority of incoming piece suggestions

Also probably /offtopic but you don't happen to use "Require encryption"? #5692

Whoa! I was wondering why first-last piece couldn't be enabled in some torrents. Thanks for enlightening me. I didn't know any of these.

@DoTheEvo in version 3.2.1 (win10), when I select "Sequential Order" then "First and Last piece first also gets checked", so I guess this is working for me...

This is long overdue. Transmission is finally getting this and I am requesting it be combined there too.

Especially single video files.
