Are there negative impacts of having DHT nodes connections 24/7?
I have a qBittorrent server at home that I use sometimes to download ISOs to test new Linux distros (amongst other things). The server is running 24/7 even when there are no active torrents in it. I noticed, however, that even if the server isn't doing anything, it's maintaining between 350 and 400 DHT nodes connected. I toyed a little bit with netstat and couldn't find these connections.
My question is as follows: are there any negative impact of keeping my torrenting server running 24/7 even when there are no torrents downloading/seeding? Do DHT nodes connections have any bandwidth impact whatsoever (even the tiniest) on my home network/router?
