I’m relatively new to private trackers and currently only a member of TorrentLeech. I’ve been using qBittorrent on a VPS with 4 Gbps up/down speed for about a month. Right now, I have around 20 torrents totaling ~800 GB seeding 24/7. Despite this, I’ve only managed to upload about 50 GB in that time.

The main issue I’m facing is incredibly slow upload speeds. Typically, I’m getting between 10 to 50 KB/s, with the occasional peak of 2 MB/s when a peer happens to be from the same country as my VPS. Meanwhile, download speeds are almost always maxed out.

Port 6881 is open on my VPS & port forwarding is working perfectly fine. Additonally, i haven’t tweaked any settings in qBittorrent. If it weren’t for freeleech on TL, my ratio would be hovering around 0.1.

I’m looking for advice on how to improve my upload speeds and maintain a better ratio. Any tips or tweaks to my setup would be greatly appreciated!
