background; i had all my torrents seeding forever and i never set a limit mostly because when i set up qbittorrent i was new and never really went into options.
i want to be able to control and limit the bandwidth i use but is 50kb/s during the day/10kb/s at night unreasonable? i dont want to be rude or make it hard for people to get things but i also just don’t want thinks to balloon out of control (before i just keep everything in seeding perpetually just because i never bothered to look).
am i being unreasonable with limits? i obviously dont want to download and just stop; i always want to at least share back to at least 1.
these are mostly public trackers btw
thanks <3
I’ve found that around 70% of my connection’s max upload speed is the sweet spot for keeping things speedy, but I only do that if I want something fast and there aren’t many seeders. I typically download at 20% of my bandwidth and upload at 10% so when it’s rocking I don’t affect anyone else on my network. I don’t have symmetrical up-down so my upload limit is a little above 10% of my download limit.
For Linux ISOs, of course.
