I dont want to seem ungreatful, I downloaded a really rare piece of music history that way (over almost 2 weeks) and am seeding it now. But I am genuiently interested, how this happens. Surely no connection is that bad, even with vpn and up/down-limit?

    I have a seedbox. On private trackers I limit my UL speed to give home seeders as chance to build ratio.

    For public torrents where I am the only seeder, I throttle upload so the leech might appreciate the value of having multiple seeders and will seed the torrent so the next user doesn’t have to go through the same bad experience. It hardly ever works, though.

      Seeding on a private tracker on a home connection with a VPN is fucking impossible.

      I have a very high seed ratio but nearly everything is on public trackers.

      And I don’t have bad internet or anything (1000/1000 -VPN costs) so I could easily seed quite fast. But it never happens.
