DietPi-Software | BitTorrent: Raise/Remove parallel downloads limit?

[MichaIng]

Indeed, on all SBCs we limit active downloads to 2 for all BitTorrent downloaders, in case of x86_64 to 3. It has been like this since before I joined the project, not sure whether this is reasonable. I am open for arguments to change this and other defaults we apply, which probably were more oriented on an RPi 1 than modern SBCs. But 21 concurrent downloads IMO is too much, as those would just limit each other, at least if you do not download via bad trackers and from very few+slow seeders only, or you have a data center grade network 🙂.

However, is it a big issue to edit the config file? I assume that 90% of users will want to fine tune settings for their personal use case anyway, so I consider the default to be a failsafe value to start with only.

It is btw either "download-queue-enabled": false,, which disables the limit completely, or "download-queue-size": 21,, which sets the limit to 21. Setting both does not make so much sense 😉.

Hi,
I was giving examples.
I would disable the download queue entirely by default. Transmission has all kinds of methods in the gui where you can manage traffic as a user.
