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 used to, because I had a buggy TP-Link modem/router, & adding a cap was the only way that port forwarding would magically start to work. I have no idea why. The bug never got fixed.
