In the Options -> Peers panel for each torrent, there is a setting which allows to specify a different number of "Maximum peer connections" than the default.

But it's only working if you set a HIGHER number than default - it won't accept LESS peers than the default number. Quite inconvenient.

Thank you!

It works for me using v2.23 64bit for Linux and Windows.

Connected peers per torrent needs to be set lower than 25 if you're seeding a bunch of nearly-dead torrents.
Even a limit of 5 peers per torrent should be workable!

I agree. It would be great to set different maximum peers limits for downloads and uploads (or different peers limits for each category), so that I could set 100 peers limit for downloads and 10 for uploads.

Since the setting is already there with a neat box to specify the number of peers, I don't even see why it should be hard-coded to a lower limit at all - bar the lower limit being 1 peer.
