Thanks to this Lemmy I entered the magic world of private trackers, and now the list of torrents I keep seeding is growing by the day. How can I detect when the number of torrents is detrimental to the functioning of the network? What is a reasonable ball park estimate of active (even if "dormant") torrents?

I'm currently seeding like 50+ torrents across 2 different private trackers. Have each torrent limited to like 500 connections and I forget what my global is ATM. Only time I ever ran into issues was Hogwarts from a public tracker which was able to saturate my network. Upload like a tb in a week then got an email from my ISP and called that good. Got a 10 ratio on a public tracker which is probably better than 99% of people who use them 😂
