How bandwidth is allocated between uploading peers? - eviltoast

I wonder how upload is allocated between peers in a private tracker. I noticed that I systematically upload much less than most of the other seeding peers (according to the stats available for a given torrent in the private tracker), even if I am among the first to get a torrent. I also noticed that my max upload speed is much less (e.g. 2MB/s) than what I get with speedtest (e.g. 7MB/s), and it often oscillates between low and high values. I was wondering, is there anything I can do to provide a larger share of upload bandwidth? Does the choice of a torrent client matter? Should I change any specific config? How can I diagnose any bottlenecks from my side? Or is it something completely outside my control? Thanks!

    If OP actively hunts torrents and may be there before a majority is starting the nore manual and longer waiting method he may be behind autobrr users but before mainstream.

    Also noticed that my literal seedbox in some trackers gets morr attention than others with similar seeders per torrent.
