Out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have and have you tested this on a computer that does not have as much?

Asking because this sounds like a mini-disaster in the making with e.g. macOS' swap and a device with 16GB or even 8GB of RAM.

I'm not sure why you're concerned about RAM; the numbers I mentioned are all relating to diskspace. It doesn't take much RAM at all to run a torrent client daemon. FWIW it runs without any noticeable effects on my OnePlus 6 from 2018.
