Suggested Seedbox Provider (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was feeling real groovy about my fresh new ultra.cc VPS, but it's slow as fuck! sub 50 kbps upload. I'll never untank my ratio at this rate!

Is this normal? Any suggestions for another provider? At this rate I wonder if I'd be better off just switching from mullvad to a VPN that supports port forwarding. Any thoughts on privateVPN?

Edit: so the FTP speed is much, much faster than I'm getting on my torrent client. Either i don't have something configured right, or i need to be more strategic about what i seed. If anyone can help me trouble shoot, id greatly appreciate it

Ive used Ultra cc for maybe 7-8 months straight now and have a ratio of 40on my private tracker. 7+tb upload with the ultra service alone. Got a little over 100 seeding 24/7I was strategic in the beginning, only going for popular freeleech stuff. Packs are very popular. Ive seeded a ton of a cartoon pack I got for nostalgia, and it wasnt even a fresh upload when i grabbed it.

Edit, also im not using a vpn, for anything. Ultra cc's service can be used as a vpn tunnel. But since my host is in the Netherlands racks it doesn't need a vpn for public trackers, and i dont need a vpn to stream from the seedbox.
