I can never get decent upload speeds. I seed everything I can but the most I've ever seen is 100 kbps. Average is probably more like 10 and very few upload at all. Haven't been able to find the reason.

This is me too. I've got about 5TB of material being seeded 24/7 from my media seever, but I rarely see more than single-digit GB total upload volume per day. The majority of the time, except for the occasional blip, I rarely see total upload rate get over a few hundred kB/s despite having the cap at 24MB/s.

I'd have to stop torrenting completely and only seed for a year to get my ratio past 2.0 lol

What I find got me a very high ratio were some high volume torrents (e.g. >500gb) that only few were considering seeding 24/7.
So far those netted me the most ratio of anything I have done.

Are you sure you are using port forwarding and have symmetric connection?

I believe I'm doing port forwarding correctly. I'm using a router with DumaOS installed so I've considered that that may be the problem. I haven't heard symmetric connection mentioned before. I will do some googling. Thank you
