<![CDATA[Leave older torrents in my Torrent client to seed? Or remove after how long?]]>After I d/l a torrent, I always let it stay active to seed. However, I noticed that after a few days (usually) there no longer seems to be any activity and it just sits there in the list. I now have a list of dozens of "active" torrents, with only the ones d/l in the last few days actually doing anything. I checked my client settings, and ensured there are no limits on uploads or seeding applied, so I don't believe it's something specific to my machine.

I want to make sure I keep seeding torrents, especially older ones with fewer seeders. However, is there a point where I should just remove it from my client? Any tips to best keep the files flowing for the rest of you?

I see the issue is related to a lack of seeders and on some torrents, also the age of the torrent. Many of them qualify for freeleech and/or promotion. Please stand by while I go on a freeleech spree to help you get some more upload traffic on your torrents.

Cheers! thanks a lot!

Maybe that could work for torrents too.
