How to know how many concurrent active torrents are too many?
Thanks to this Lemmy I entered the magic world of private trackers, and now the list of torrents I keep seeding is growing by the day. How can I detect when the number of torrents is detrimental to the functioning of the network? What is a reasonable ball park estimate of active (even if "dormant") torrents?

Just run things and find out. It really depends on your network and environment. Take note when things act up or slow down and scale back.
I usually have over 1,100 torrents seeding but maybe a dozen or so are active at a time. Maybe more sometimes, I don't watch it as closely as I used to.
A few times I've added hundreds of movies at once by importing IMDb lists and experienced network errors. I had to download them in batches.
