Haven't heard of private, but I would highly recommend airvpn. You could do qbittorrent nox on an old computer for good seeding. If you want I could elaborate on how, but I can't right now.
I wrote what's before this before looking at private. It looks okay but they definitely make some false claims in their marketing that make me skeptical. They say their VPN can make connection faster than non-VPN, that is only true if being throttled or smthn weird. They say it hides your IP from your ISP, which is impossible. Your ISP loans you an IP, of course they know it. I know they mean it allows you to use an IP that your ISP doesn't know, but they still said it wrong so.. idk im rambling and tired but... yeah. Response.
Thanks a lot. I edited my post, but i don't think the issue is as clear cut as just the server being slow due an overcrowded network like i thought at first. I just downloaded several gigs from it in under 15 minutes. Im just not seeing those speeds in my seeds. Maybe i have to pick better torrents to seed.
I don't run a cloud-based seedbox, but I have a gigabit uplink on my server at home and often have very low seed speeds of <500KiBs (with plenty of usable overhead). I do see it spiking to ~18 MiBs sometimes but most of my torrents are just sitting there without actually seeding, so i suspect it's mostly the torrents I have seeding that's the "issue" for me.
