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’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 💖
