cfp p2p - 2016-08-08

With 2016-08-06 release there is now the setting to prevent transmission from upload of magnet links requested by peers. The session setting (manually by settings.json)
"magnet-bad-piece-max": 1,
With the setting as 1 is the prevention of magnet link upload to other clients. You can still receive/download magnet links. A setting of 0 and transmission can't receive the torrent metadata by magnet however, there is still the upload of magnet if you loaded a .torrent file. The default setting is 25. On receiving the magnet link metadata the torrent will pause after this many attempts, as it's likely transmission is connected to a malicious peer.

The setting 1 goes well with transmission when it's set for zero upload speed of the torrent files too.
