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

if you don't have any data caps then it just doesn't make any sense to cap your uploads.

I don't think they were referring to capping their uploads, but to capping their upload speeds.

yes. it doesn't make any sense to cap neither upload total or upload speed unless they have some sorta data cap

Speaking for USA: The top 3 major ISP's all have a 40mbps limit on upload speeds. Even if you have unlimited data, the constant sharing can bog down your internet, so yes, it fits make sense to limit upload speed.

But 50kbps that OP said is pretty low unless they have low speeds from their ISP.

yeah I was thinking 10% makes sense.
