    Can I ask what client you use? I want to implement the same auto-remove on qbittorent but idk if I’m just not seeing that setting or what.

      I use transmission, but share ratios are pretty common and I’m almost positive qBittorrent had the same options when I last used that one several years ago.

      Look in your settings for “Set share limit to” “ratio: x.xx”

      You can set a global share limit in your settings, and you can modify the setting for specific torrents when you add them or any time by digging into the torrent’s properties.

      My defaults are to seed to 2.0 ratio, and when I queue something up manually from one of my private trackers, I manually change the setting for that specific torrent to permaseed.

        What VPN do you use? I used Mulvad in the past but I’ve read they stopped port forwarding so torrenting is broken with them now.

          I use Private Internet Access (PIA). I’m honestly not sure where it rates on the “good vpns” scale, but I get port forwarding through open VPN on Linux and my connection is still pretty fast. It does what I need it to do.

            Same, but wireguard. Sometimes I’ll find my port closed so I made a cron job to check and swap if needed.
