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 generally seed to a ratio of 10, but if it is popular with lots of seeds I’ll stop it early, anything with under 10 seeds I have set to seed for ever - some of them are now into the 1000’s for the ratio

    So my point is maybe choose what to seed rather than limit the speed - but no judgment as long as you give something back
