How to know how many concurrent active torrents are too many? (lemmy.ml)

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?

So far I've only run into this with public torrents. Most of the time all my private torrents see little to no traffic. Its probably not the best idea to try and seed everything on the front page of a tracker, but older torrents which would have to be searched for are probably cool to just seed 24/7 without them competing over each other.
