Hello there, I'm here to ask help to those advanced and experimented BitTorrent users that know about about seedboxes.

First of all I'll tell you my box's specs.

1GHz processor
512 MB ram
40GB Hard disk (I assume obviously it isn't SATA)
VPS (Shared connection, not dedicated) 100mbit
Unlimited traffic

Well, I have this almost for like a month. And I managed to buffer nicely TL, RevTT, bmtv and bitme. The problem is that in really FAST trackers like ScT I'm having a ratio around 1.7 and lately I'm doing worse every day. I have spotted two things that before didn't happen and may cause this.

1) While I'm downloading I'm not uploading. When I did well, I downloaded for example at a speed of 5MB/s, and at the same time I uploaded at a 3MB/s rate. When I finished leeching the torrent my upload speed would stay in the 2-3MB/s range until I hitted 1.5 ratio, and then in the next hour I'd average speeds below 1MB/s that finally left me with a 2.+ ratio per torrent, now I'm barely reaching the 1.0 per torrent ratio.

2) When I finish a torrent, it stays at %99.9 for around a minute or sometimes a little more, so the status of the torrent is "Downloading" and for that minute or so I do not upload a byte. For example, yesterday I "finished" (99.9%) a torrent while there were 2 seeds. When I reached 100% and the Seeding status, there were 10 seeds. For that minute+ I'd have maxed my upload speed and get a nice upload amount.

I've tried everything, I limited my dl speed to 2MB/s and still I don't upload, I limited the upload, tried everything and I still have this problem.

Please, I need help. Thank you.

PS : Don't spam this thread, if you have question about how much I pay or that stuff PM me, if you have a doubt about a seedbox create your own thread, but don't ruin my thread like it happens in 99% of the seedboxes threads.

Yeah, I read that thread before. But it only has questions, and not any answers. And the only answer is saying that the hardware sucks, and yeah I know my box's hardware sucks, but it didn't happen before, so I can't tell that my problem is caused because of my hardware when with the same hardware 1 week ago, everything was alright.

Even though I appreciate your input.

I have been using the same seedbox for quite long and see the same symptoms on sct.
IMHO it is caused by fast downloaders amount growth. As I know in many european countries there is winter break at schools righ now. Would advice to watch RSS more carefully.
