Thanks everyone -- these are all great suggestions and replies! I'm going to do some more due diligence and research as time permits and report back in case anyone is interested.

Again thanks for the ideas. You're all great!

Does anyone know of a way to check to see if my ISP is throttling or even preventing upload sharing? My download speeds are still relatively great (sometimes reaching ~15mb/sec), but it seems that lately every torrent I download hardly uploads more than a few hundred kilobytes.

I know that some torrents I'm seeding are older and have little to no leachers, but even newer ones I'm seeding with many leachers are uploading literally zero kilobytes. I've never seen this until recently, maybe a couple of months, and I'm worried about my ratio. Also I do appreciate seeding whenever possible as a good member.

I'm considering testing out a VPN to see if it helps, but before I go down that road I figured I'd see if anyone had any suggestions for how I might test out my theory. Thanks in advance!
