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

    Exactly this. I have great download speeds, but shit upload. Like, we’re talking 175 Mb/s down but only like 10 Mb/s up.

    So, I typically limit my speed to 10 KiB/s (0.41 Mb/s) whenever my spousy is home so as not to hog the bandwidth. Lol.
