One time I found a KDrama that changed my life (Crash Landing on You), and to thank the producers, I set up a dedicated seedbox for years that did nothing but seed their show :). I think I hit like 7TB uploaded before shutting it off
I would absolutely be a seeder if my router didn't reset itself in the middle of the night. That, and I'd be worried about getting caught by my ISP, even with my VPN.
Regardless, these people are the real heroes.
Add airflow to your router, common issue for overheating routers. May need to move it out into open, out of a closet or whatever.
If your ISP hasnt sent you a letter yet then try something much more tracked like GoT and if you dont get one after a week then you should be fine.
Pretty sure it's programmed to reset at night from the ISP themselves, so not much luck there.
Also I have in the past for emails, but that was before I got my VPN subscription. Nothing since then, but I ain't chancing it.

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.
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.
Are you sure you are using port forwarding and have symmetric connection?
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

Thank you! I’m trying to get there too!
I'm fairly certain that Ubittorrent messed up my user account on my old Mac, and now I am really leery to start it up on my new Mac. I also have no idea how to go about diagnosing whether I have malware or something, because I have never run into this issue on a Mac before. I also have had trouble setting limits on uploads so all my bandwidth isn't sucked away, and ChatGPT was not effective with its advice. Usually I leave it running for days on end though, and I also don't delete.
Malwarebytes for mac, should be a free scan. Ive had great luck with it before. I am a long time IT erm person so ask me if you have questions.
