i downloaded a torrent file, and for good practice started seeding overnight reaching more than the 1:1 ratio, should i just delete the file or is there a way to correctly stop seeding?, im using qbitorrent

Not in any noticeable way. I have a gigabit connection and the server runs over ethernet so it doesn’t clog up the wifi. There is no noticeable difference when I run a speed test on another device with the server turned on vs. turned off. I’ve never gotten an ISP letter either, so it seems I’m doing something right.
Oh won’t my fellow thieves please show some decency! LMAO! Don’t worry, I don’t use P2P, but the high and mighty attitude given the context does tickle me!
I seed to 500% and then it auto stops. But I wouldn’t mind if Qbittorrent had an option where it would start seeding again automatically a while if the torrent had too few sources at some point later.
This script triggers changes by reading ratio and seed numbers, but I think its main goal is to never stop seeding rather than reading paused torrents. github.com/tomodoro/qbitseedmgr
qbittorrent has an option to automatically stop torrents when they reach a certain threshold in the options menu. Set it to 0 and it will stop it once download is complete. github.com/…/How-to-disable-auto-seed
While anything over 1:1 is ideal, I think we can agree that setting it to at least 1:1 is better than setting it to 0 as u/Riusaki suggested. While it is the bare minimum, it’s not in any sense leeching to give back as much as much as you’ve received.
You can set a seeding limit in the option, it's under "BitTorrent" "Seeding Limit". The torrent will then go to "Completed" and not seed anymore once it's reached the limit. You can also manually "Pause" a fully downloaded torrent and it will stop seeding.
I wouldn't say it's more "correct" than deleting it and I personally also delete them. But keeping the torrents on a "Completed" status would allow reseeding or redownloading without having to find the torrent file again. It could also serve as a log to easily see what you have downloaded.
