Only seed in local network?

I am using a headless transmission-daemon on my server to download verious torrents. Instead of using sftp to transfer the complete files (which results in ~2 MiB/s), I would like to use BitTorrent to transfer them (which results in ~ 30 MiB/s over LPD). However, transmission is often busy to seed to others on the internet, and I only get slow speeds. Is it possible to tell transmission-daemon to only connect to peers in certain IP-ranges or even better, only over LPD?

I have thought of that too. I was just not sure if there was an "only-local" mode or such

Would it be worth implementing? I mean, for stuff like running the daemon on a NAS

I meant adding a "local-only" mode for transmission-daemon.

Give us a few usage cases and maybe we can tell.
Personally I feel that there are better tools available to handle syncing/copying/whatever on only local networks.

As said, BitTorrent is much faster than any other method. I don't know how much effort it would be to implement a local-only mode, but maybe someday we could have it?

That's a bit too much effort, especially if you have huge files. Scraping 1.5 TiB takes ages. I'll use custom blocklists and activate them on-demand.
