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?
Concurrent active torrents? So you mean only the ones that has activity on them? Entirely depends on your system. If you have ssds, you can have a lot, with hdds, not so much. I would limit the upload slots per torrent to 3-5 and set the global upload slots to 75 or something like that. Looking at the statistics of the io time in queue can also help. I have about 19k torrents and 30-60 are active out of them on hdds. Once on EMP freeleech it hit 100+ active ones, that was when I limited it as that was too much.
