Hello,
a uTorrent refugee here. I've been wondering if there is a possibility to check how many seeds there are available for an offline torrent. I need this information as I often don't have the diskspace to download what I come across and just add the torrents to the client to download later. Then, if scraping is available as in uTorrent, I can easily see which ones I should download first by looking at the number of available seeds (the lower, the sooner I should download to avoid a dead torrent).
requests have been made to isolate the seed/peer info from the status column. If that is done in some future version, then the info could be determined I suppose though it would seem only by reporting you made the torrent active on your system (though I could be wrong about that detail)

Turn OFF auto-start new transfers in SETTINGS
For the transfer, go to FILES, right click priority -> OFF (or click the checkmark)
When you start, it will be "seeding"... you can choose from there what to download. Just click the checkbox in FILES again.
Note: This may put you at the top of the queue (if enabled)... Turn off QUEUE or right click on Transfer, skip queue.
Note: since Tixati handles each transfer separately, this will take a while longer than Utorrent since it doesn't appear to bundle announce/scrape requests per tracker.
P.S. This also works for magnet: links but since you can't download anything until you get the INFO dictionary it's up to guessing the initial tracker or getting lucky with DHT
