People always say you should seed to atleast a 1:1 ratio, but my seeding and downloading is so painfully slow that I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong?

This is a screenshot from a torrent with only 1 seeder, for refence

As you can see the download speed is really slow. I know there is only one seeder, but shouldn’t theorhetically my download speed in this case be the same as the upload speed of this one seeder?

I didn’t port forward yet, so I’m wondering if that would fix it? Like I said, my upload speed is also horrible, even tho it says I should have 20 mb/s on ookla speed test. The biggest ratio I have is 0.3, and that’s from the most popular torrent I have, so yeah there seems to be something wrong here, sorry for the rambling and thanks for the help!
