PIA upload is definitely faster than that. It doesn't saturate my connection but I've seen it upload at 5MB/s+ at times. Are you sure you have the right options for the gluetun container as shown in the wiki? You'll see the port PIA assigns you in the logs. Testing with a linux iso probably won't help much since the ratio of seeders/leechers is high. Try a popular newly released torrent instead.
So I just tried a torrent from nyaa.si that had hundreds of seeders and hundreds of leechers.
After it finished downloading, the upload speed has fluctuated from 900kb/s up to ~1.52mb/s. Way better than before, but still feels slower than it should? Idk.
At this point, I'm not sure of anything! Haha
I'm doing so much reading from different sources, I'm starting to get everything mixed up now.
Checking the wiki for Gluetun, I used that exact docker compose that they suggested, but added the port for qBittorrenr, so I can access the webUI. (And also now added the "port forward" variable)
I'm very lost right now, and unless you're willing to walk me through it, I think imma start from scratch and hopefully learn something new along the way.
Thanks so much for helping me so much!

I think you can consider the issue solved at this point.. Last thing to check is the cpu usage while the torrent is active. If it's being pegged, that could limit your speeds.
Awesome. Thank you so much for your help!
I gotta figure out how to check CPU usage on a headless Linux environment lol.
