I want to turn off my PC but I’m the only seed for an unpopular linux distro. The downloader obviously has it capped at 1MB/s so it’s crawling slowly… just a couple minutes now…

I have my download at 10MB and upload at 5MB. I don’t want to hog all the bandwidth from my family and I don’t need it any faster anyway. I never see the upload reach the cap.

    I have no caps for my normal speed mode in qbittorrent but in alternative speed mode I have it capped to 500 KB/s. I have it set to switch automatically to alt speed mode around the time my spouse gets home from work. If I leave it uncapped, it slows the Internet on their end because of bandwidth presumably.
