is it considered rude to limit my upload in qbittorrent? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

background; i had all my torrents seeding forever and i never set a limit mostly because when i set up qbittorrent i was new and never really went into options.

i want to be able to control and limit the bandwidth i use but is 50kb/s during the day/10kb/s at night unreasonable? i dont want to be rude or make it hard for people to get things but i also just don't want thinks to balloon out of control (before i just keep everything in seeding perpetually just because i never bothered to look).

am i being unreasonable with limits? i obviously dont want to download and just stop; i always want to at least share back to at least 1.

these are mostly public trackers btw

thanks <3

Yes what everyone else said, ratio is the only one that really matters.

I seed to 10.0 on pretty much everything unless it takes forever and takes up a lot of space.

Certain things, mostly things that are for the common good (books, practical software, documentaries) I seed forever.

As long as you're giving more than you're taking in the long run, you're good. If you cannot for whatever reason, someone will have your back and don't worry about it.
