Just crossed 1PB total upload, felt like bragging a bit. I'm sure others who have been at this for years and years would put my numbers to shame, but I was excited to see that 4th digit tick over! :)

Honestly at least in US the ISPs couldn't care less until a studio or something comes after them. But I have qbittorrent bound to a VPN, which is enough.

    My ISP throttles my shit crazy when I start any torrent... My ratio is like .02 because I can't upload anything almost ever even at 50~ mbps. I've tried the "use a random port every restart" and it is still ass. Suggestions welcome

    Are you using a VPN that allows port forwarding? It took me a couple months of slow uploads to realize that was my problem.

    Yeah, I use PIA and I've tried the "request port forwarding" option as well as in my firewall and modem ¯_(ツ)_/¯ my modem is from the ISP and kinda turbo shit so I was thinking of getting my own but haven't yet lol

    Make sure you put the port you’re being assigned into your necessary application. Also note that it can change when you disconnect and reconnect so you periodically want to make sure the port in your application matches the port assigned to you by PIA.

    so you actually have no idea whether "your ISP throttles your shit crazy". it probably does not, because if you are using vpn, that would affect all your other traffic as well.

    try to stop using the vpn and test the behaviour of the torrent again.

    He’d be insane to complain about this if the didn’t have port forwarding setup

    I was thinking more about the 1 PB upload. Most ISPs here would complain about that.

    Gotcha. Yeah, I just have a standard 1gig residential fiber connection with unlimited data from a large US telco. I'm sure there is some provision in the T&Cs where they could cap your data, but so far they are holding to the "unlimited" statement.
