Your question is so generic that it is difficult to reply. I'll tell you about my use case then so that you can try to figure out yours.
My goal is to be a respectful citizen. I divide my torrents in three categories:
I bought tons of space (recently converted to three drives, 20tb each) and use a virtual machine locked behind a vpn. Even if I forget to paid, the virtual machine is bind to the tunnel so that traffic doesn't go out except for LAN, so no leaks.
The VM has two torrent client:
I tend to leave everything in transmission seeded forever, the stuff in qbittorrent seeded until 2.5 ratio or 4.0 depending on my mood.
At the moment I have 90.2 ration on transmission and many many many TB of uploaded stuff. That should be enough to feel like you are giving back
You can do the same with just 3 containers: qBittorrent, qbit manage, and some VPN. You will be saving a ton of resources while having more granular control over how you handle the seeding. That’s what I have :)
that is an interesting advice. Regarding containers, they don't fit my use case.
