Is It TRUE?!?!?!

A question about uploading process.
Let's just say each time I released a torrent file on this site. if some was interested on it. this user will start his download process. and then more users will link direct to my torrent client.(this process inculde the tracker) . and after a while let say there will be a control server, this server find too much people connect on my small pipe. So it will let the new clients connect to the guys who already download 25% or maybe more or less clients.
And after I finish my seeding process to the first coming clients, they will start their their own's seeding process. And the new comers will not need to connect to me again, because I only have a small pipe. Unless those large pipe felt boring about and delete the seed.The conclusion is:
If I really want to improve my ratio by seeding file. I really need to improve my upload speed, otherwise I will never beat up those people who own a big pipe or buy a "seedbox".

True, just as you described, but maybe not such a negative lack of preference for your slower connection…. I think more along the lines that once those guys with the seed boxes get the initial data... they will supply the data at lightening speeds.... leaving you in the dust.
You only managed to seed 9% more of the file, after the initial seeding.
Same happens to my uploads, being based in Bangkok, Thailand.. :-()

Even with a 'big pipe' (~70 Mbits up) I've usually got only about 30% over the file size in the initial seed phase.
Unless you've got the files on another (public) place and someone jumps on it during initial seed, the uploader will always get at least the file size as upload and that without download. In addition, the as 'Thank You!' gifted seed bonus points go exclusively to the uploader, not any other seeder.
It is as well to be noted that seedbox user have limited storage size on their seedboxes (usually a few 100 GBytes) and will have to stop seeding rather early, or prefer seeding other new torrents with more downloading peers, thus higher upload. This means the time of 'small pipe' members comes (months) later, when they are left as one of the few seeds (or only) and there are sporadic downloads. We need such 'perma seeding' members, so that the library remains available.

This is the case to some extent. When I upload new torrents, I don't often get a whole lot more upload credit than the actual size of the torrent itself. Sadly, this is because I live in rural Canada, where I'm lucky if I can maintain a 600 kbit steady upload speed using an oldschool legacy DSL line (ADSL2+). I can say with great confidence that I really do feel your pain. Where I'm at now, it's even a blessing to get more than about 3.4 mbit in download speed, unless I go into a more major city, and even then, depending on the type of connection, it's not more than about 7 mbit.
So…. I do feel your pain, but sadly, that is the nature of the way that torrents work. If there are a great number of leechers, but not many seeders, it is still possible to get some traffic from seeding torrents, although history will dictate that this number is not as high as one would expect, even with a faster connection speed.
