Thanks to this Lemmy I entered the magic world of private trackers, and now the list of torrents I keep seeding is growing by the day. How can I detect when the number of torrents is detrimental to the functioning of the network? What is a reasonable ball park estimate of active (even if “dormant”) torrents?
Usually that isn’t a limiting factor so it’s not something you have to worry about. You can technically leave everything unlimited except for Global Connections and Upload/Download bandwidth, those are really where you’d want to set limits if necessary. Your torrent client is capable of auto managing everything else.
I believe most clients allow you to limit the upload rate so I would set that to something that is less than your max upload rate so that it almost never causes an issue. The limit of torrents it more limited by your network and what your computer can handle.
I’m not an expert, but I’ve had hundreds of torrents seeding and never had a problem.
