Unfortunately BitTorrent clients are kinda messy and don't make it easy to maintain a long term seeding library. I've moved to qbittorrent which is a bit better than Deluge on that regard, but it's still not great.
Yeah, they are messy. I tried BiglyBT a few years back, and while I love a lot of features, I think that was overkill for sure. qBittorrent is the golden standard at the moment for sure.
Also I don't understand the upload torrents limit, ok, limit concurrent uploads, but everything I'm seeding should be available all the time
That's one (of many) reason I'm glad I switched to linux, Back in windows xp days Microsoft tried limiting the amount of "half-open connections" for its users "security". But even today, some routers just aren't powerful enough to handle too many connections, and often times the cheap routers that ISP's provide are limited on purpose either by custom firmware or just by hardware limitations.
How many torrents do you have??? I seed over 7000 torrents concurrently using qbittorrent
I've about 2k, but I've had to adjust the weird defaults
Is your issue that it's hard to move files around without breaking seeding, or something else?
Well, that's an issue for sure, but in my case it's just that when you have thousands of torrents seeding it's hard to keep them organised and navigate them, labels help but not much, essentially my bittorrent client is a bucket of shared files, reviewing what I have, deleting and moving is a hassle.
I used to use Deluge as well but have been really happy with Transmission for years now
