What server to use when torrenting

Should I use a p2p server or should I just pick the fastest server available? MY download speeds for torrents is only 110kbs

Thnks

I’d stick to the geographically closest p2p server. also keep in mind that you need enough people seeding in order to get good speeds, so the vpn is far from the only variable. the best vpn service in the world won’t help if that torrent isn’t seeded or the seeds are slow

Depends on the country you’re located. You can get the list of p2p servers on their site.

I use a Netherlands server and tend to get better/more connections since that’s where all the seed boxes are. Looking through birds server list it appears Netherlands server #400 is the only listed as a “dedicated” openvpn server so I use that one. I’ve seen download and upload speeds peak at 30-35Mbps. I’m on google fiber as well. I’m also using unraid with deluge-vpn docker.

You’d also need portforwarding to increase your speeds.

You can’t forward a port via a proxy.
