I see the confusion I made I am sorry, when I said routers crash I meant
actual ISP hardware routers.

not sure how torrenting with i2pd should increase crashing risk as connections
are pre-made with I2P, so qBitorrent I think is just using a proxy and
connections being made shouldn't increase FD count? I am not sure exactly, but
something tells me that the connections being made by torrenting and thus FD
count increased is pre-handled by i2pd already as I2Pd has connections
in-place already? I am not sure but this makes some sense

it should be the ideal OS choice because security shouldn't come with
compromises, and those that do are uncapable of divine intellect creation!
I think OpenBSD should suffice for the use-case, not sure.
if something crashes or is not at 100% potential, something should be fixed.

like I asked and no one answered: where can I check HARD LIMIT of my computer?
what it depends on, on CPU? where is utility that shows max FDs, and
per-running-process FD usage and their max setting?
if this does not exist, I think why not?
I think if user has to manually set FD limits and know potential of programs
and OpenBSD and hardware, where is utility to help with that? I did search on
the internet, all shit..

- best regards and with hope because I thought no one interested
