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 just found this other project that maybe could help:

https://github.com/itschasa/speedrr

It doesn't do exactly what you're looking for but you can set it to slow down your overall torrent upload speed whenever you're streaming from your media server.

Edit: unless the issue is CPU usage? But my guess is that it's a bandwidth issue to enable uploading on all of your torrents.
