Is there any downside to leaving something seeding indefinitely? Typically I just leave all my torrents seeding whenever I'm done 24/7 (whenever the VPN is on) but is there any detrimental issues to seeding too much?

It doesn't bother me I was just curious if there was ever a such thing as too much seeding since I have like 20+ things seeding and maybe one thing downloading.

Speed isn't an issue since I have gigabit internet.

I generally keep things seeding indefinitely when I keep the content, to make the network stronger. For other things I delete it once it surpasses at least 1.0 ratio.

The only real downside to seeding indefinitely is that you have to store it, but I would be storing what I do that for anyway.
