qBittorrent / Is there a way to automatically detect and activate demanded torrents with no active seeders? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

This isn't exactly what you asked about but it seems at least adjacent to what you're looking for: https://gitlab.com/rpatterson/prunerr

Thank you! I interpret that this solution is more likely a Disk space manager for more efficient space usage. Delete available torrents, keep torrents in need. But I assume that this solution needs to have every torrent active and cant manage the status of the torrents.

I just found this other project that maybe could help:

https://github.com/itschasa/speedrr

It doesn't do exactly what you're looking for but you can set it to slow down your overall torrent upload speed whenever you're streaming from your media server.

Edit: unless the issue is CPU usage? But my guess is that it's a bandwidth issue to enable uploading on all of your torrents.
