Prioritize rare pieces

Is it possible to add "prioritize rare pieces" to qB? I think it would make the speed a bit faster at the end of the download.
Or is it something that libtorrent is missing for this to be possible?
Keep up the good work on qB!

Good question. I checked the libtorrent-rasterbar issue tracker but couldn't find anything like this.
You can try opening a new ticket
there. Once the developer accepts it and implements your idea, you only have to wait for qBittorrent team to add this feature.

I got a reply here

It seems that I may had a wrongfully assumption that rare pieces didn't have higher priority.
If it is so, I am pleased

The piece picker policy is implemented in libtorrent-rasterbar. It is already prioritizing the rarest pieces, as far as I know.
