if you snatch a popular torrent that is fine but with dying torrents that is quite harmful
I'm considering getting a seedbox because with my current storage setup, and my unwillingness to keep the vpn up all the time 2.0 is the best I can do.
This was annoying me too, and I solved it by spinning out a VM that exists just to run qbittorrent and the vpn connection.
I use Gluetun for that. It's a docker container that sets up the VPN and qBittorrent in two containers and routes all traffic from qBittorrent through the VPN.
Agree. I dont delete anything unless the quality is shit
Dumb question, why?
If there are less than 5 seeds, then I keep sending indefinitely. Above that, I'll consider deleting it to free up space once I'm done with the media.
Unless it's getting a private tracker, in which case I'll just seed everything forever to get the sweet bonus points.
How does that work, does the downloader just cycling though seeding torrents or do they all stay active? I feel like there would be so much torrents over time it would slow everything down.
I looked it up, and qBittorrent can easily handle hundreds of torrents, apparently. I haven't noticed any problems running 180-ish. I'll probably try to keep it capped to 300 or something like that.
Does it matter how many files are in each torrent?
I would think a 100 file torrent would be more intensive than a 3 file torrent.
It will lead to the torrent dying if everyone stops seeding
If there's no one left to seed, the torrent dies. Seeding back 200% ensures the torrent stays healthy.
Sometimes you need to seed back more than 200% because the other two people might not be able to seed it back. I would generally not set a limit
True, but as a minimum you should be doing 200%.
OP is showing 200% as their maximum. That's the whole point of this thread. 🤌🏼
No shit Sherlock 🫴
I'm not the one reiterating the salient point of a very short thread. Might do well to read that to yourself instead, friendo. 🤗
I have no time for children.
Because 200% should be your minimum, not your max. 🤌🏼
