Is there any downside to leaving something seeding indefinitely? Typically I just leave all my torrents seeding whenever I’m done 24/7 (whenever the VPN is on) but is there any detrimental issues to seeding too much?
It doesn’t bother me I was just curious if there was ever a such thing as too much seeding since I have like 20+ things seeding and maybe one thing downloading.
Speed isn’t an issue since I have gigabit internet.

There’s no such thing as too much seeding.
Well, maybe the 85tb of Ubuntu 24.04 I’ve done is too much, but I mean, whatever.
(I’ve got basically everything I’ve downloaded in the last 7 years seeding, some 6000 torrents. qBittorrent isn’t the most happy with this, but it’s still working, if using a shit-ton of RAM at this point.)
Lots of permaseeders out there, you can be one too :)
There’s no real downside as long as your ISP doesn’t limit your bandwidth.
Not really, as long as your VPN setup is solid (assuming you need it to avoid letters) and you don’t mind the bandwidth usage. I have some ratios in the 500s
No with a VPN you are good. Sharing is caring.
Bless you.
I deliberately leave stuff that’s been a bastard to get seeding as long as physically possible. We’ve all felt the pain. Don’t spread it.
Exactly. There’s little point in keep seeding popular torrents on public trackers (it’s a different story for private trackers though).
But if you have a rare torrent that has been difficult to complete, please please keep seeding it for as much as possible!
