I dont want to seem ungreatful, I downloaded a really rare piece of music history that way (over almost 2 weeks) and am seeding it now. But I am genuiently interested, how this happens. Surely no connection is that bad, even with vpn and up/down-limit?

Seeding on a private tracker on a home connection with a VPN is fucking impossible.

I have a very high seed ratio but nearly everything is on public trackers.

And I don't have bad internet or anything (1000/1000 -VPN costs) so I could easily seed quite fast. But it never happens.
