      I recently started using a VPN with uTorrents. The specific one I am using is Private Internet Access. However I have noticed that my torrents are not uploading. While I am seeding, it appears even new torrents are not being downloaded by other people. Considering how many torrents I am seeding, I would have something for upload.

      Are there any specific/special settings I should be using? Maybe "Private Internet Access" doesn't work well with torrent uploads. If not, is there a recommended alternative VPN that is fast and easy to use?

        Nevermind on this. I eventually found it on an old thread.

          I had same issue and this is what PIA instructed me to do:

          Many users find they need to enable port forwarding in order to get the best speeds and connectivity with torrent clients. In order to enable port forwarding in our client, enter the Settings area for our client, and click the Advanced button. Enable port forwarding and select one of the following gateways:

          Netherlands
          Switzerland
          CA North York
          CA Toronto
          Romania
          Sweden
          France
          Germany

          After enabling port forwarding and re-connecting to one of the above gateways, please hover your mouse over the System Tray or Menu Bar icon for our client to reveal the tool-tip which will display the port number. You can then enter this port into your software, like uTorrent or another torrent client.

          This should help your uploads
