It's always interesting when I load up a download, I get seeded at like 20MB/s, but then... There's nobody to seed to. It's weird to see a torrent that so many people are seeding, but there's like no downloads for it nowadays. Usually once it's no longer popular, seeders disappear, too. Even weirder: it was season 2 of a show (that aired 15 years ago), but season 1 had.... One guy. Only online for about 6 hours a day in the middle of the night.

    do you have port forwarding enabled?

    Most VPNs don't allow that, and those that do look shady as fuck.

    I use torguard, I port forward for soulseek. they setup exactly as you want, you just fill out the request. Been with them 7+ years. I share 0.5 to 1.0 Tb/day on soulseek/torrents. Upload speeds are capped at 5MB/user, 5 uploads at a time on soulseek. 30MB upload cap on utorrent, bound to VPN IP.

    I took this screenshot after an update and reboot, so it's not maxed out on speed yet.
