How do y'all upload such large collections to services like Soulseek? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

For context, I have around 14k albums that I'd love to share and keep the stream flowing, but I have a couple of problems.

A.) My PC isn't always on, which isn't the biggest issue but I know a source just being inches away from being offline is painful.

and the more important issue, B.) Soulseek genuinely slaughters my PC resources at high album counts. I have a decent gaming PC, not some budget machine. Is there a way to limit it's intake?

I really do want to share my collection, but I don't have the money to set up a seedbox equivalent just for uploading music. Any help would be appreciated :)

It's fine if your PC isn't always on, just set soulseek to autostart with your PC.

There is also an alternative soulseek client called nicotine+ which is cross-platform and might perform better for you.
