i downloaded a torrent file, and for good practice started seeding overnight reaching more than the 1:1 ratio, should i just delete the file or is there a way to correctly stop seeding?, im using qbitorrent

You can set a seeding limit in the option, it’s under “BitTorrent” “Seeding Limit”. The torrent will then go to “Completed” and not seed anymore once it’s reached the limit. You can also manually “Pause” a fully downloaded torrent and it will stop seeding.
I wouldn’t say it’s more “correct” than deleting it and I personally also delete them. But keeping the torrents on a “Completed” status would allow reseeding or redownloading without having to find the torrent file again. It could also serve as a log to easily see what you have downloaded.
thank you, makes sense to leave it as Completed, if by any circumstance some of the torrents i’ve downloaded lack the presence of seeders ill help :p
