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 have been using ultra for over a year now and dont have the issue you are talking about. How many seeds/peers do the torrents have? Might just be that there arent a lot of people dling what you are seeding

that was exactly the problem. I found a more desired torrent and now my ratio is safe 8-)
