Previously was calculated by number of bytes downloaded, which caused
edge cases when those two numbers were not the same, e.g. if the user
already had part of the torrent from another source and only downloaded
a small part. When this happened, the ratio could be very large and use
of seedratio would behave in a way that most people would not expect.
Note, the old behavior has been around for a VERY LONG TIME. Even though
this is a bugfix, it does change semantics. I don't think there is any
third-party code that depends on the old behavior but this is arguably
a breaking change.
