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
Thanks a lot. I edited my post, but i don’t think the issue is as clear cut as just the server being slow due an overcrowded network like i thought at first. I just downloaded several gigs from it in under 15 minutes. Im just not seeing those speeds in my seeds. Maybe i have to pick better torrents to seed.
I don’t run a cloud-based seedbox, but I have a gigabit uplink on my server at home and often have very low seed speeds of <500KiBs (with plenty of usable overhead). I do see it spiking to ~18 MiBs sometimes but most of my torrents are just sitting there without actually seeding, so i suspect it’s mostly the torrents I have seeding that’s the “issue” for me.
