    How does that work, does the downloader just cycling though seeding torrents or do they all stay active? I feel like there would be so much torrents over time it would slow everything down.

      I looked it up, and qBittorrent can easily handle hundreds of torrents, apparently. I haven’t noticed any problems running 180-ish. I’ll probably try to keep it capped to 300 or something like that.

        Does it matter how many files are in each torrent?

        I would think a 100 file torrent would be more intensive than a 3 file torrent.

          I don’t think it has any effect at all, but I’m not an expert. It’s just sending data by request based on hashes and indices, isn’t it?
