I want to turn off my PC but I’m the only seed for an unpopular linux distro. The downloader obviously has it capped at 1MB/s so it’s crawling slowly… just a couple minutes now…
I have my download at 10MB and upload at 5MB. I don’t want to hog all the bandwidth from my family and I don’t need it any faster anyway. I never see the upload reach the cap.
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.
