For context, I have around 14k albums that I’d love to share and keep the stream flowing, but I have a couple of problems.

A.) My PC isn’t always on, which isn’t the biggest issue but I know a source just being inches away from being offline is painful.

and the more important issue, B.) Soulseek genuinely slaughters my PC resources at high album counts. I have a decent gaming PC, not some budget machine. Is there a way to limit it’s intake?

I really do want to share my collection, but I don’t have the money to set up a seedbox equivalent just for uploading music. Any help would be appreciated :)

    If I remember correctly, I think under File Sharing there is a limit of how many queued uploads and how many megabytes of queued uploads per user you can put.

    If you do this, make sure that the largest album you have fits within whatever limit you set. Nothing more irritating than downloading just a single album, only to find you can’t actually get the whole thing.

    The other option for limiting resources not mentioned here, is the ability to cap upload speed. This might require you to have your computer on for longer, but if your internet isn’t the best then it might be worth it to not have your connection randomly choked out.
