Nice work.

But I think a 1:1 (peer:seed) is the most unrealistic test enviroment.
I would say that you need at least 100 peers to make such tests
including a few seeds.

The only reason my client switches to full allocation mode is then
a file selection is made (means there is more than one file inside the torrent).
And because there are several files which will be written to
and read from more seeking occurs naturally.
