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.

    Question for the group:

    Using Unraid can I pull from sonarr and then add to Jellyfin (watch it) and also seed? That would be amazing. Usually I have my deluge stop seeding so I can move the file to my data folder and not have duplicate files

      On mobile but look up TRASH guides. That’s what I used in my setup and I’m able to watch stuff almost as soon as it downloads and I still let it seed for awhile after. Also using Unraid, Arr apps, and Jellyfin.

      I use qbittorrent so maybe this is why, but when my downloads finish theyre moved to my movies/tv folder but since qbittorrent handles that, it keeps seeding the files afterwards.

      I don’t know if it’s good or not but I just created a library in Jellyfin pointing to my Media folder that I download torrents to. It’s probably not the same as what you’re doing since it’s my regular desktop but it works for me.

      My next goal is to get an actual home server so I can let my parents view my jellyfin too.

      I download to a 1TB USB drive. ARR’s then copy the completed files to the NAS proper. When the USB fills I clear up ~100GB of the oldest files. Then the cycle continues.
