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

    Public trackers? No, nobody cares. On private trackers, where sharing and keeping the content alive is important, share ratios are often tracked very closely, and you can be banned if you aren’t sharing enough back.

      Depends on the private tracker too, most of the ones my friend is in have some sort of bonus point system rewarding for just keeping torrents alive.
