I used to run hundreds of torrents on early 2000s hardware and it was fine. Not sure what the problem is, but it's not the bittorrent protocol.

No it doesn't, its resource demands are miserable, so don't worry about it, just let it run in the side.
Bandwidth concerns only should be applied if you have a limited tariff.
The reason why torrenting is so successful, is due to its resource minimalism and ability of current hdd/ssd drives to last long.
Due to only read operations being made, which is a fraction of tear of what write operations are doing.
I have a personal HDD drive (still alive and functioning after 14 years of constant use), started agile torrenting not a while ago (even while I had 2Mbps ADSL connection), already passed TB threshold, and it's still healthy.
