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
No one cares or will even notice your lack of participation.
Some seeders have amazing infrastructure and can seed in an hour what would take you a year on a residential connection.
This is not an “if everyone did that” problem because not everyone has limited residential bandwidth.
If youre worried about moral obligations adopt a few torrents with very low numbers of seeders to ensure they dont die.
Alternatively, you could rent a seed box for a month and upload 5 years worth.
