Question about upload speeds (torrenting) (lemm.ee)

Fellow Scallywags, I'm trying to share my booty (not that one). But my average upload speed is 294,4 kiB/s, while my average download is 6.1MiB/s.

I've tried ProtonVPN port forwarding, but that doesn't seem to increase it much more than compared to Mullvad without port forwarding.

Is it nomal that uploading is this much less than downloading? What can I do to increase upload speeds? Using qbittorrent.

Okay so I've found that it's related to connection limits, while writing this post up; the old just search it up.

So instead what are some good tips regarding connection limits?

Connection limits could be one part of the story, im not sure what the defaults are in qBit but i have set mine at 100 or something like that. Another issue that you could be facing is the torrent itself, it might already have 100+ people with seedboxes seeding but only a few peers downloading, since so many people are alredy uploading its hard for you to get any upload in. Try a few other torrents, preferably once with only a few seeds but quite a lot more people trying to download.
