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.
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.

do you have port forwarding enabled?
Most VPNs don’t allow that, and those that do look shady as fuck.

Proton VPN
Wait, really? Last time I looked all the main providers had removed it, and the only ones left looked like they were hosted on a toaster.
Might have to look into that when mine comes up for renewal.
Torguard. Almost 8 years with them and love it.
