PIA Vancouver server users, how are your seeding speeds with port forwarding on?

Thinking about switching over to PIA mainly for port forwarding (currently on AirVPN). Since none of PIA's US servers support port forwarding, Vancouver looks like the closest/best option for me (West coast US).

For those of you actually running Vancouver with port forwarding enabled, how are your real-world seeding speeds, especially on private trackers where you're trying to hold a good ratio/seed time rather than just grabbing a file and dropping off?

A few specifics I'm curious about:

  • What upload speeds are you actually sustaining while seeding multiple torrents at once, not just a single download test?
  • Does it hold up consistently, or does it get noticeably worse during peak hours (evenings especially)?
  • If anyone's compared Vancouver to the Mexico City server (the other nearby PF option), which one's actually been faster/more stable for you?

My setup: qBittorrent running in Docker on an Unraid box, mainly seeding on private trackers with minimum seed time requirements, so consistent upload matters more to me than peak download speed. Appreciate any real numbers or experiences, trying to figure out if this is actually going to be an upgrade over what I've got now.

Thanks 711

All the discounts brought gas down to $4.58 a gallon. Sadly, this is an amazing price for my area...
