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.

    Capped - gotta keep the connection usable and in my eyes availability > speed.

    Very few things I need “right now” so I can be patient as not being able to find something can be much more frustrating.

    Saying that, if you need to switch off, do so. If they really want it, they’ll leave it queued and it’s not on you to act as the entire distribution source (unless it’s your distro!)
