That doesn't sound like too many, you're saying you're at under 1000 torrents? How many multiples of hundreds are we talking?
Surprised Transmission has issues seeding that many, thought Transmission 4.x made improvements in that area. How much RAM does your system have? Maybe at some point you just need more system resources to handle the load.
PS - For what it's worth you can still stick with Transmission and/or other torrent clients & just spread the torrents among multiple torrent client instances. e.g. run multiple Transmission instances with each seeding 1000 or whatever amount of torrents works for you.
It shouldn't be too many, my hardware wouldn't have been considered high-end ten years ago but transmission is handling thousands just fine for me. It takes a lot longer to start up with this many, probably 20-30 seconds, but runs without issue after that.
Those are duck tape solutions. Why use them when there is a good solution
I don't know what the issue is. I genuinely think it's because Transmission is entirely single threaded. Memory is fine, running at 50% utilized.
And it's like 3-4 hundred ish.
No. Just... no.
That should be easy for just about any torrent client (including Transmission), could be worth opening an issue at their GitHub page https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues
Hopefully switching torrent clients resolves that for you.
Orrrr I could use a program like qBit or rTorrent that is designed properly.
