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 do 4x or 1 month whichever comes first. Unless I notice it’s some really hard to come by thing and I may leave it up for a year or more.

      I just leave my torrents until deluge starts crashing. If one thing is super popular I’m not gonna stop it from boosting my ratio. Most sit idle with almost no interest 95% of the time.
