I think you answered your own question :D

As an example for what patience can do, I've seeded the Monkey Turn torrent for 14560h, or so the tracker says. A weak torrent, with currently only seven seeds and no real leech (just a couple of ghosts). But it has earned me 835.97 GB of upload. All that remains is to actually watch it, despite the comments on the sub quality...  ::)

Actually, that answer was suggested by someone, I was just making it clear that I was going to settle with that solution.
But when it comes to the Monkey Turn torrent, that really surprises me - I guess it's a good idea to loyally seed a torrent, no matter its worth, for a duration if not many others are doing it :D

And bob2004, I know there are many worse connections out there. I felt like my previous had very good download, but less than mediocre upload (many people have the same download and upload here - so at least in comparison).

It just hit me that the chance of connecting to peers on bigger torrents should be bigger, seeing as it will take them longer to finish --> longer time for me to get available, so now I'm downloading ~100gb worth of data in 3 torrents. Hopefully that'll get things started :)

Freedom Kira:
You should be easily seeding over a hundred torrents at a time. Once you're around 300 or so torrents, you should be maxing your up pipe.

Try disabling uTP, by the way. It's something that automatically slows down torrent packets when torrenting starts to interfere with other applications, but in practice it just slows things down period. With a connection like yours, uTP is very useless.

Thank you on the suggestion - I have no idea what it does, so I assume you're correct :)
When it comes to the many torrents, I guess I'll just start seeding whatever I download an keep it there.

Bozobub:
Increasing total number of connections allowed (I'd recommend 500 or more), total allowed per torrent, and upload slots per torrent should all help you push your uploads a bit better.
