I don’t torrent much, but my NZB and torrent clients both get throttled on a schedule. I have no need for my automations to go fast or fill up my NAS overnight (slight hyperbole but I do often get 50MB/sec on well-hosted downloads, which is not sustainable in terms of storage cost.)
I pause during the day for work, low throttle (500KB/s) during non-work hours in morning and evening, and at night once we’re asleep a moderate cap (5MB/sec. ) I also have some mild traffic shaping QoS on the router so the kids streaming won’t affect my Zoom meetings, for example.
Things added manually go straight to the top of the queue, and sometimes I’ll un-throttle for a particular download that I’m waiting for.
