I just reduced my global max connection from infinity to 500 (somehow that increased my upload speed?) and it reduced qbits shit by a couple thousand, but it's still in the many thousands. I'm assuming the number on the left is literally just how many files it's using, in which case, how could that ever get below 1024? Not to mention I have many other services that are also above 1024. (See below). In any case, I'm only using 14 GB of memory out of my 32 GB of ram and 16 swap, so I think it would be fine to increase the limit, but that does worry me a bit.

I went to sleep last night after posting this and left a ssh connection open to see what it did in the morning when I woke up. And when I woke up and checked it out, I found that coincidentally it stopped doing the timer almost exactly as I went to sleep, yet I don't think I was doing anything that would make that happen. I have no idea why it stopped, but it hasn't started again either.
