I’ll admit, when I first started torrent I was not really familiar with how it worked and how important seeding was. I would just use magnet links without configuration to save the torrent and seed after completion. Well… I have finally, got myself back to 1.00 after a couple months and working to try to always seed double what I get for each torrent.

Often times I was one of the few random seeders available for some of these torrents. Friendly reminder to give back because you never know when you’re one of the rare cases that can complete someones long lost file download!

    I have also observed this behavior, but only when the file is new and the only seeder is the uploader.

    Hower I’m kinda curious to test it out. Any idea if there’s some way to script qbittorrent to somehow mimic this behavior?

    Download until 99,0% completed with 100% of download speed, then reduce to 0.1% of my download speed until finished?

      No, I don’t know how to script to test it, sorry. But, if you do test it let me know what you find.
