I use a crappy wifi card so I dont need software to cap the speed
I have my qbittorrent containters capped to seed about 20 - 30 GiB per day, 300KiB/s on each container. I’m seeding about 1400 torrents but since we have “unlimited” data allowances that aren’t actually unlimited I have to cap it. It sucks seeing some torrents seeding at 20KiB/s but at least they’ll eventually get it fully downloaded I suppose.
I also set anything over a 5 ratio to superseed mode so more popular torrents don’t hog too much bandwidth
I seed without cap, don’t really need my upload for anything else. (500 Mbps)
What’s the distro? I can help seed it indefinitely with open ports.
That’s awesome of you to offer to help seed! I appreciate people like you :)
if it’s Slackware based dna Linux, GIB
I have my seeding capped at 1.0 ratio because I have torrent on my home server which I use also for other things like matrix and it works like shit when it’s seeding a lot. I already figured out a solution but I need money for that, so for the time being it has to be like this.
Send me magnet for the torrent, for poorly available stuff I set a 10:1 seed ratio, so I’ll be seeding it for a while. I don’t cap my upload speed, but it isn’t great
I have it capped because I’m sharing the bandwidth with three other people, like you I suppose.
I have 250/50. I have noticed stuttering of streaming video if I am also downloading heavily so I cap during prime time but otherwise let er rip.
I used to, because I had a buggy TP-Link modem/router, & adding a cap was the only way that port forwarding would magically start to work. I have no idea why. The bug never got fixed.
Uncapped. I have gigabit fiber internet and no reason to cap. I have some where I have a 50:1 ratio.

I’m very lucky to have 30€ 1Gb/~0.7Gb and the option to hop on the new freebox with symmetrical 8Gb for 40€/month. So today if I need to cap I’d just use my old 100Mb switch for my server I guess.
Not that I need it today (like at all), but I could host art videos (for example) or help out maybe. Thinking about it I should probably help and then bump up when needed…
What do you do with your big uploads, hey guys 😊 (jk ofc)?
I’m still working on my sharing protocol so as soon as I have time l’ll make a big node for it to try to jumpstart FOSS websites, I probably do the jump then.
Cheers and long live the free internet 💖
Seeding isn’t capped because I have 100/100 and who the fuck needs 100 up all the time?
Downloading is capped during normal day use to 70% of my network because I love my wife and want her to have Internet
I cap my bandwidth at 50% of my max upload and download speed during the day and 80% of max during night when I’m usually asleep using qBittorrent’s schedule feature.
I don’t tend to torrent much, but when I do, no. My network speed is so slow already that capping it any further still wouldn’t leave me with usable bandwidth on download. Upload I also don’t cap because I am behind CG-NAT which makes any upload quite rare.
When I say slow, I mean slow. During peak load times my download speed may dip as low as 0.1Mbps. Upload usually stays around 2-4Mbps, so that’s fine. Thankfully that’s rare. Usually I can get 1-2Mbps even during the day.
