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.

      I’m in the same boat, and it genuinely adds up over time. I’ve literally uploaded hundreds of gigabytes while throttling my speeds.

      Every little bit helps.
