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.

    This is especially useful for Books. Small torrents are so hard to find. I perma seed books/audiobooks and copy to my slskd directory because they’re so hard.

        Permaseed is the default. To disable perma-seed would be to set an upload limit, like a time amount or a ratio.

        I run a ratio of 2:1 for most stuff

      I have this book. It’s a few Kb in size and I have already seed Gb of it. It has an insane ratio. I think I will never delete that torrent.
