Aiii! I have some rare torrents with only a few active seeders, but I can only seed about 8 torrents at a time due to my very slow server. If I try to seed more, Jellyfin doesn't work properly.

Currently, I select a few torrents to seed for a few days, and then I switch to new ones. However, I feel bad for those who need to download torrents with only a few or no seeders while I have them but not actively seeding. I could activate these "dead" torrents, but I don't want to waste my bandwidth by not seeding most of the time.

Is there a way to automatically detect and activate demanded torrents with no active seeders? While deactivating running torrents which don't are in need of seeding?

these clients should be handling this for you. announcing a torrent is available for seeding isnt a huge deal. you should never have to limit the content you're making available, just the amount of resources you're willing to dedicate to active transfer. this might be of interest to you in a few months when its available, slated for june to be daily usable.
