Do you cap your upload/download? Why or why not? (lemm.ee)

I want to turn off my PC but I'm the only seed for an unpopular linux distro. The downloader obviously has it capped at 1MB/s so it's crawling slowly... just a couple minutes now...

I have my download at 10MB and upload at 5MB. I don't want to hog all the bandwidth from my family and I don't need it any faster anyway. I never see the upload reach the cap.

I have a 500/500 fiber connection, so generally a torrent download is the only thing that can actually make use of the entire capacity. So, I usually cap download speeds at 350Mbps as to not choke out the rest of my devices, but I leave upload uncapped because it never reaches high enough to have a noticable effect.
