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?

    Can you just set a bandwidth cap on your client or would your server still not have the cpu power to serve video?

    What are you running this on, and are you transcoding, btw?
