I run into that problem too on CyberGhost, I wonder if my settings are not fully optimized as I tried to go for security over openeness due to my limited knowledge… Sometimes a torrent will have up to 10 seeders but will still stall out / fail, I always thought that was due to those seeders having limited bandwidth and being queued up for hundreds of other downloads before they get to mine, but now I wonder if its my settings… Either way I would rather optimize for security, but I wish I could get some rare stuff sometimes that has few seeders.

Shit I rarely make it above 1:1 even if I seed 24/7 for a while, I wonder if I need to work on my settings.

What happens if you are torrenting via Mullvad?

CyberGhost I believe is also owned by Kape or a subsidiary.

agreed, although my concern is that the proportion of users to bots may be much higher than expected (like shwitter). How much are advertisers willing to pay to advertise to bots? Not much I'm guessing, I envision lies.

I wonder if we will actually ever see the true numbers, I have a feeling they will realize that SOOOOOOOOOOO many of the users are bots and be forced to pull a shwitter. We will see what happens, but I won't hold my breath for *actual* transparency.
