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 seed to 10.0 on pretty much everything unless it takes forever

    What is “forever” in this case? I gave 1Gbit symmetrical and the best ratio I have is <4 on a torrent I’ve had going for literally years

      Fair point, in my case, months-ish? I’ve had many go to 10+, probably with smaller files I’m guessing. Depends how much i need the hard drive space, I’m a humble setup.
