Initial seeding (also known as "super-seeding") requires rtorrent/libtorrent 0.8.2/0.12.2 (resp. SVN revision 1059) or higher.
== How
To enable it on a download, first make sure the download is complete and that it is stopped, then press Ctrl-B or send it the command `d.set_connection_seed=initial_seed`. You should see the message `Enabled initial seeding for the selected download.`, if you do not see this message then initial seeding was not enabled. It will probably not show the proper connection type in the download info until you actually start it afterwards. If it shows a connection type of `leech` or `seed` even after you start it, it is *NOT* initial seeding. This may be because it found other seeds in the swarm or all chunks are already sufficiently distributed.

In addition to the algorithm described in http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0016.html[BEP 0016], rtorrent's initial seeding includes a fast-startup mode to allow full upload bandwidth even when there are very few peers. Normally initial seeding waits for chunks to appear elsewhere in the swarm before allowing a peer to download more. But when the total number of interested peers is less than 90% of the max uploads for the download, the peer may download more right away since we don't have any better use for the upload bandwidth of the download.
