I know ideally you seed as much as you can, but I’m curious how much extra resources (memory, cpu, etc) each additional torrent you seed uses? I don’t mind the storage being used, but the box I have all my torrents on isn’t the most powerful and I’m nearing 100 torrents seeding and am a little concerned it may bottleneck the other stuff running at one point. Most aren’t actively seeding all the time, they just occasionally contribute here and there.

Storage of the item is the biggest thing. I have a seedbox with around 87 torrents on it with only 8GB of RAM allocated and two cores in a VM. It never has an issue.
