So, I will provide an update. I did not get it to work. Besides that I am certain this image is stopping my torrent client from actually connecting to peers. After running this config for a week, I've got about 80 unfinished torrents. This would be fine, if those torrents did not have any peers, however this is not the case. I'm getting connected to peers that have 100% of the files, and I can simply watch deluge not pull anything in. So In short, The VPN connection works, some torrents work fine. The VPN connection is capped to about 1mbps normally and 2.5 on a good day. I've tried to eliminate any bottleneck from my setup, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing this issue.

After doing some testing, setting the download folder to the local host DID remove the insane IO load i was having. So for that I will be troubleshooting my NFS config. Possibly I'm using some flags that are not optimal for torrenting. HOWEVER, it did not increase my bandwidth. I did notice less "flushing" to the local drive, but still only hit top speeds of 2.5MiB/s. I will do some more research and get back to you guys after I find out the exact issue.

So right now, the Incomplete folder is an NFS share mounted on the docker host. I haven't had any issues with this running a different deluge container, however I can see that with this specific configuration there is an issue. I use the default mount options for the share. As you can see the CPU load is nothing crazy, and this is with 10 active torrents 300+ in queue

Yes, I understand the steps in the FAQ, and have applied them where needed.

I think we are finally getting somewhere. I've added the ubuntu image to deluge and got peak of about 2.8MiB. But still am getting consistent sub 2MiB speeds, even on torrents with 2000+ peers. It's almost like there is a cache that keeps filling up, since as soon as the speed hits the 'cap', it throttles down to sub 1MiB/s only to creep back up to 2.8MiB/s and throttle again. This is now very noticeable with the ubuntu torrent. I also noticed high IO usage from the deluge instance. Might this be the limiting factor?

So, I had a look a the actual speed i'm getting over the different VPN servers. In the attachement you can see the speed ranges from terrible (15Mbit) to pretty good (90Mbit). This is tested straight from the container. HOWEVER, my deluge still seems "capped" at around 2.4MiB/s. What would be the next step in troubleshooting this issue?

Yes, my bad. I'm connecting to Frankfurt. Edited post.

I went over the different suggestions but still only hit peak speeds of 2.4 MiB/s. I am using the closed geographic server (Frankfurt) with working port forward. There is enough CPU and Memory overhead to accommodate the speed, as I get 50MiB/s on a deluge container without the VPN. The data all downloads to flash storage before being transferred to spinning rust on complete, so the drive cache isn't an issue either. Following all the recommended steps (itconfig, GCM config, portforward, Bandwidth settings) but still my speeds are not improving. Do you have any suggestions?

So this is amazing. I don't have any support needs, just a couple of questions regarding the VPN. I've got the image up and running with PIA, but the download speeds are about 1-2.4 MiB/s. Which is fine, but since I've got a 500mbps down connection I could be pulling a lot more. Since PIA supports up to 10 clients running at once, is there a way to split the traffic over multiple connections through the config?
