Suggested Seedbox Provider (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was feeling real groovy about my fresh new ultra.cc VPS, but it's slow as fuck! sub 50 kbps upload. I'll never untank my ratio at this rate!

Is this normal? Any suggestions for another provider? At this rate I wonder if I'd be better off just switching from mullvad to a VPN that supports port forwarding. Any thoughts on privateVPN?

Edit: so the FTP speed is much, much faster than I'm getting on my torrent client. Either i don't have something configured right, or i need to be more strategic about what i seed. If anyone can help me trouble shoot, id greatly appreciate it

I am using Ultra.cc, and do not have issues with seeding

Been using it for close to 10 years. Never had a single serious issue with it. Apps break now and then. A simple reboot of the server or the app fixes it every single time.

A lot of public torrents download and seed at insane speeds. Like "must be in the same building or even the same disk" speeds.

Do you use a VPN from your local machine to the seedbox? To hide your connection to an obvious seedbox from your ISP?

Why should my ISP care if I use a seedbox?

Generally I stream with plex/audiobookshelf from my seedbox. Without a VPN.
