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

Keep in mind QBit uses kibibyte units while your ISP reports speeds in megabits. You can also set it to change speeds depending on the time of day. I have mine limited during the hours I typically have people streaming from my server and have it uncapped from like 2am - 8am.
