Question about upload speeds (torrenting) (lemm.ee)

Fellow Scallywags, I'm trying to share my booty (not that one). But my average upload speed is 294,4 kiB/s, while my average download is 6.1MiB/s.

I've tried ProtonVPN port forwarding, but that doesn't seem to increase it much more than compared to Mullvad without port forwarding.

Is it nomal that uploading is this much less than downloading? What can I do to increase upload speeds? Using qbittorrent.

Okay so I've found that it's related to connection limits, while writing this post up; the old just search it up.

So instead what are some good tips regarding connection limits?

It's probably limited by your internet service provider. On many plans you only get much less upload speed than download speed. I guess it's to discourage home users from running a server at home. And to discourage file sharing.

Yeah that's probable. Since changing some settings on the connections limits it has already increased, still not as much as peak download like you said.

Yeah this is definitely it. I use Mullvad and have upload/download speeds pretty close to what I pay for.
