Yes. When downloading the torrent, go to the files list for that torrent and un-check boxes. Resist the urge to leave only the first files in the list(as most people will do this leaving few-if-anyone seeding the rest), **and try instead to grab files from the middle or end, or just be random about it.
When the torrent finishes downloading the files you've selected, it will automatically seed those portions of the torrent which you have downloaded.
EDIT: I just remembered, some torrent programs will actually show you the seed ratio per file in the torrent. There are reasons hardly anyone is (sincerely) trying to reinvent this wheel.
This is true, but I don’t know if you’d be counted as a seeder on that list though if you don’t have the full torrent.
I don't think you would but you would count towards the "availability" that's listed, so ten leechers each with a unique 10% of the torrent would give a 1.0 availability for a new lecher who wanted to become a seed.
This is too much work, someone automate this with the smartest algorithm and I will preserve with the power of 10x 2tb 10gbe seedbox.
Automatically auto seed on a rotation the 10% least available file of each torrent Percentage should be adjustable globally and per torrent.
