Currently using, based on an average of 5 torrents at a time (fairly arbitrary but the default limits were too restricting)

  • Global 1500
  • Conn/Torrent 300
  • Global up 150
  • Up/Torrent 30
  • Max up/down 20000KiB/s
  • Using both TCP and uTP
  • DHT/PeX on
  • Require encryption
  • Port forwarding presumably set up fine

Read somewhere that too many upload slots would wear out my drive faster, but aside from that concern I don’t know where to look for optimizing this

Sitting at anywhere between 1-10 MiB/s avg upload atm

Did you test to make sure port forwarding is actually working? Just use any port test website like https://www.canyouseeme.org/, https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/, etc.

Incorrect, you should ignore advice from wherever you read that. Reading from a hard drive produces the least wear on any hard drive whether it’s SSD or HDD.

Yeah showed up as open and its set up router/firewall/app settings wise, worded it that way since I didn’t exactly know if it was a open>its working 100% kind of thing

don’t change anything. Just make sure to open the ports

This isn’t related to bandwidth speed, but dont forget to enable “pre-allocate disk space” if you’re going to be downloading multiple torrents at once to an HDD, as it’ll prevent some serious fragmentation that can slow things way down.

I have a gigabit connection, and default qBittorrent max out my connection (assuming the torrent is popular). Idk why you’d need to change anything.

Torrents aren’t that popular, default settings cap out at 3Mib/s at best

You should set encryption setting to prefer encryption. I also have utp disabled as i had problems with it, but to be fair i only tested that on transmission.
