I dont want to seem ungreatful, I downloaded a really rare piece of music history that way (over almost 2 weeks) and am seeding it now. But I am genuiently interested, how this happens. Surely no connection is that bad, even with vpn and up/down-limit?

Not everyone on the internet lives in western countries with 1gb fibre connections, hell remote parts of the US are still stuck on very slow ADSL if they don't have access to starlink.

Your seeder may be in ButtFucke WY or could be in a little village in Phillipines or Nigeria
