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

    Lol, the ethics of piracy.

    It depends on your connection, country, ability to seed and probably a few other things I’m not thinking of.

    I squatted for a while with 40gb per month on my mobile, I didn’t seed shit.

    I rented a seedbox for a few years and seeded some things into the thousands ratio.

    Plenty of people use Streamio which is straight leeching.

    Do what you can. The higher the ratio the better.

    I feel that if something has taken weeks/months to download I try to seed that for a while. If something is super popular its got enough support that I’m not making any difference.
