Thank you for your service.

Some people including OP are completely missing the point of torrenting, which is to share, not leech. If everyone removed their torrents like the OP, everything would quickly become unavailable and die.

IMO a better strategy is to just limit your global upload speed. Then at least you're still making everything healthy and available, even if its distributed slowly.

if you snatch a popular torrent that is fine but with dying torrents that is quite harmful

If there's no one left to seed, the torrent dies. Seeding back at least 200% ensures the torrent stays healthy.

Sometimes you need to seed back more than 200% because the other two people might not be able to seed it back. I would generally not set a limit

True, but as a minimum you should be doing 200%.
Also in a ideal scenario that 200% would be spread out to a lot more people then just 2.

OP is showing 200% as their maximum. That's the whole point of this thread. 🤌🏼
