Description
A growing problem with streaming apps is that there's a decreasing amount of long term seeders.
A solution would be the option to specify a download/stream folder that doesn't automatically clear on close. When the player opens, it automatically starts seeding the files inside. This way every time you stream content or have the player running you'll give back to the community by seeding your streamed content. This could be an optional feature which people can choose to turn on.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. First clarify how the download/stream folder and seeding should be configured, then trace the existing cleanup and player-startup flows; done means an optional setting preserves downloaded files and automatically seeds them when the player opens.
