I'm coming back into running torrents after many many many years away from it. One thing I have always valued is being a good seeder of niche content. Shit, an arcane font library I originally created almost 20 years ago and pushed through Demonoid is STILL floating around out there. Lost to see it.

I'm using qBittorrent on macOS with a decent (but not mind-blowing) connection. I have lots and lots of 100%s on lots of stuff. Something I notice is that when I click on Peers, I see people sitting there with 0%, and I see myself sitting there with 100%, but I don't see any seeding happening.

I am seeding a few other things fine. But there is a whole bank of data that I can see people want, and that I can see that I have, and it's sitting there at 0 upload speed for those items.

I imagine there are a LOT of variables at play that I don't quite understand. But is there anything I can do to make sure I'm optimizing my availability to others?

Thanks so much for any insights. Cheers
