Is there any downside to leaving something seeding indefinitely? Typically I just leave all my torrents seeding whenever I’m done 24/7 (whenever the VPN is on) but is there any detrimental issues to seeding too much?

It doesn’t bother me I was just curious if there was ever a such thing as too much seeding since I have like 20+ things seeding and maybe one thing downloading.

Speed isn’t an issue since I have gigabit internet.

Lots of permaseeders out there, you can be one too :)

There’s no real downside as long as your ISP doesn’t limit your bandwidth.
