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 wish clients would prioritize low seed torrents.

I disable queuing and just have a bandwidth cap on my torrent client. Technically, I'm seeding thousands of torrents and don't have any issue.

Occasionally when I go to clean up some torrents (like when migrating servers) I purge based on most seeders first and never kill anything below 3 seeds.
