Torrent Download Speed

I upgraded to 1 Gig down/1 Gig up True fiber to my condo a couple of months ago with the hopes of getting better torrent download speed. 

 

True severely throttles torrent downloads  in Bangkok (hmmph!)  but allows it with a VPN.  I use ExpressVPN set to Thailand.

 

Previously I had a 50/20 connection and would occasionally top out a torrent download at 5mb/s. 

 

I thought it would be much better with the high speed fiber.  It is somewhat better but I almost never get above 10 mb/s even with thousands of seeders.

 

 I am curious if this true of other fiber users who download torrents?  What is your experience?

Most private internet connections have a much higher download rate than upload rate. Because most people watch and don't publish. That might be the main reason.
