Hi,
At first sight, the obvious answer is yes.
However, I have a gigabit fiber connection at home, 1 Gbps upload and 1 Gbps download.
after a year, I came to the conclusion that such speed is useless. Even when I upload a torrent to a tracker and am the "best" seeder, I hardly touch the 10 MB/s mark.
I wonder if any settings can be tweaked to improve seeding.
there are so many tutorials on the web but they all focus on improving download speed. I couldn't care about download. I need to max my seeding speed.
Any thoughts?
Thx,
Caj

It may be that the peers downloading from you simply do not have enough bandwidth to saturate your connection. Someone on the other side of the world might only be able to sustain 100KB/s from you just due to
a) limitations on the infrastructure between you and them
b) the speed of their connection
c) the fact hat they are also downloading from a bunch of other peers
d) etc.
The only way around this is to upload to more peers at once. You can do this by simply seeding a larger number of torrents at once, or for torrents with a large swarm, raise the maximum connection limit. You can change the default connection limit in "Settings -> Network -> Connections". You can change the limit for individual torrents in "Properties -> Options tab -> Peers".
