Aiii! I have some rare torrents with only a few active seeders, but I can only seed about 8 torrents at a time due to my very slow server. If I try to seed more, Jellyfin doesn’t work properly.

Currently, I select a few torrents to seed for a few days, and then I switch to new ones. However, I feel bad for those who need to download torrents with only a few or no seeders while I have them but not actively seeding. I could activate these “dead” torrents, but I don’t want to waste my bandwidth by not seeding most of the time.

Is there a way to automatically detect and activate demanded torrents with no active seeders? While deactivating running torrents which don’t are in need of seeding?

    I’m part of a private tracker and am hosting some low seeder torrents all the time.m using my servers. If you want I can download them from you, set them to their own category so they don’t get removed and just seed them for ya. Feel free to message me.

      I’m also part of a private tracker and I usually keep ~200 torrents seeding. My server is not even that powerful.

      I fear that OP may have misconfigured something else on his server.

        That or they have failing hardware or really bad upload or something. Maybe they’re using a bad client or something. Seems odd for sure.

          I have a HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10, 8G.

          I don’t know why its this slow. I thought that would be normal. Its just running qBittorrent, a VPN and Jellyfin under Win10. (Im to lazy to switch to Linux. Dont touch (a moastly) running system.) Anything above 20 global upload slots, and Jellyfin has to puffer the playback every 5 seconds.
