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?

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.

I’ve got qbit running in the following configuration…

Core i5-8500T hardware > proxmox > Ubuntu virtual machine > docker > qbit. Currently seeding nearly 500 torrents and using less than 4gigs of ram. Qbit itself is running on ssd, while all torrent files are running on hard drives over SMB share. Something is up with your system.
