    I can never get decent upload speeds. I seed everything I can but the most I’ve ever seen is 100 kbps. Average is probably more like 10 and very few upload at all. Haven’t been able to find the reason.

        I believe I’m doing port forwarding correctly. I’m using a router with DumaOS installed so I’ve considered that that may be the problem. I haven’t heard symmetric connection mentioned before. I will do some googling. Thank you

      This is me too. I’ve got about 5TB of material being seeded 24/7 from my media seever, but I rarely see more than single-digit GB total upload volume per day. The majority of the time, except for the occasional blip, I rarely see total upload rate get over a few hundred kB/s despite having the cap at 24MB/s.

      I’d have to stop torrenting completely and only seed for a year to get my ratio past 2.0 lol

        What I find got me a very high ratio were some high volume torrents (e.g. >500gb) that only few were considering seeding 24/7.
        So far those netted me the most ratio of anything I have done.
