   There is no runtime option for this and AFAIK it wouldn’t be wise to do so (potentially increase pressure on the already declining number of nodes). Also, see discussions in #6533 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6014

   You probably don’t want to do this not just because it’s “bad behavior”, but because having too many connections results in your upload bandwidth being more heavily utilized when you find a block (resulting in increased packet loss), actually increasing the time it takes for nodes to hear about your block.

   You might also consider looking into advanced relay technologies and connecting to highly connected nodes such as the Relay Network (http://bitcoinfibre.org/public-network.html).
