numwant not used

Description

Hi!

libtorrent has support for the "numwant"-field, but does not use it. The default value is "-1", which means no "numwant" is sent to the tracker. In my (special) case with lots of bandwidth I need lot of peers. With the default implementation (current SVN) I get about 30 peers (that support encryption, without encryption it should be a bit more). Experiments with Azureus and µtorrent showed that I need about 250 peers to have a significant amount of upload. I suggest setting "numwant" to some high value or make it configurable via the config file.

Thanks, C-Otto
