Is there any downside to leaving something seeding indefinitely? Typically I just leave all my torrents seeding whenever I’m done 24/7 (whenever the VPN is on) but is there any detrimental issues to seeding too much?
It doesn’t bother me I was just curious if there was ever a such thing as too much seeding since I have like 20+ things seeding and maybe one thing downloading.
Speed isn’t an issue since I have gigabit internet.
I think it’s related to the number of open connections. If you have 100+ torrents you’re going to have a lot of open connections to leeches, so your new downloads will have to wait for slots to open.
You could fix it by setting all of your seeding torrents as low priority, so your new normal-priority downloads will start.
