Suggestion

Have you checked this? it's like 2 hours time limit; Really Bad for the Torrent Community. I think the Seed Limit default should be 4 weeks=40320 mins AND Ratio=11.0 as default, so people actually be seeders, so torrents don't die fast. So please implement this as a default ASAP, it's IMO urgent for the torrent community.

I always save my configuration folder and restore it after a fresh Windows installation, so I never worry about it, as I use these suggested numbers myself

Use case

I've been using torrents for about 10 years and most torrents, no matter how popular they are have only a few seeders, because after the initial seed most clients, stop seeding, I used uTorrent for like 5 years and it also has a Low Seeding Limit Default, so torrents after having sometimes 1,000,000+ seeder and leechers, they'll drop greatly after 2+ hrs.

IIRC, seeding limits are entirely disabled by default. Everything else is responsibility of the user who enables them.

I'd like a Dev. to confirm this
