For context, I have around 14k albums that I’d love to share and keep the stream flowing, but I have a couple of problems.

A.) My PC isn’t always on, which isn’t the biggest issue but I know a source just being inches away from being offline is painful.

and the more important issue, B.) Soulseek genuinely slaughters my PC resources at high album counts. I have a decent gaming PC, not some budget machine. Is there a way to limit it’s intake?

I really do want to share my collection, but I don’t have the money to set up a seedbox equivalent just for uploading music. Any help would be appreciated :)

    If I remember correctly, I think under File Sharing there is a limit of how many queued uploads and how many megabytes of queued uploads per user you can put.

    You can reduce both amounts so people can only download a specific number of uploads or s specific number of megabytes at once so your computer doesn’t use so many resources.

    The other option is to set your folder to private and let people send you a message and ask you if they could download from you. I know some people set it to 2-3 uploads per user and if your internet just struggles to download things they limit the MB.

    That’s all I remember, sorry if what I’m saying is a bit confusing as my primary language is not English and I haven’t used Soulseek in a while!
