I don't get this. It is definitely useful.

I'm not saying don't upload: the client still seeds. It just downloads the contents in order.

It wasn't very useful because it didn't actually force streaming. The "rarest-first" rule was still respected.

It wasn't optimal for the swarm. Yet, the user didn't really get what he/she wanted.
