Hi all,
I need technical support here.

Recently i purchase Unifi 5g which comes with ZTE MC8020 modem and I notice the torrent speed is extremely low (~1kbps).
Previously i am using Unifi fibre line 100Mbps without issue during torrent and after moving to new location with Unifi Air 5g, torrenting seems impossible.

Is there any workaround to enable torrenting?

Few things I have done:
1. change to google DNS 8.8.8.8 and etc but this is not working.
2. tried free VPN but it totally disable torrenting.

Are there any other method? Thanks.

generally, torrenting isnt allowed on these 5g plans, the fiber plans are what you want

or use a better vpn
changing dns is useless in this situation

From my Unifi Air 4G experience, no longer allowed . Started recently, maybe 2 months ago. Use VPN if you want. Last time 4G speed was also uncapped (although supposed to be 20mbps package) , now strictly by the rules.

I have already terminated Unifi Air

As for 5G you make your own conclusions.

ok then. which VPN is preferred?

Hi. I just move to new location and renting the place for 1 years or so. That's why cannot simply change to fibre optic...

Hi mate. I am using Unifi Air 5G as well with the same modem. I able to torrent those days w/out VPN. Now not anymore. I dont wish to use or subscribe to any vpn service. So, I just use seedbox.

Hi there. What is seedbox? Can you describe to me?
Thanks.

TL:DR: Its basically a remote computer that downloads and seeds the torrent on your behalf. Usually you can self-host (kinda technical for newbie) or you can subscribe to any provider. It does provide you with basic ssh access, ability to download the files to your local storage, etc.

mobile i dont think can p2p. Maybe u can ask digi if they still allow p2p since i remember few years ago they allow p2p with their 1tb plan.

someone said yes5g allow torrents
too bad u tie with a contract
most vpn also block torrent

Currently yes, but it'll be a matter of time it will be blocked too.

your best solution is a seedbox...don't waste your time on researching or choosing VPN, go straight to the source/option that will work both ways 100%

yes. someone in this forum also already suggested seedbox but the storage is only 1 or 2gb.

That means i can only download something less than 2gb at one time. anything more than 2gb cannot be used in seedbox.

Is there a way to increase the storage size? Or am i doing the wrong way? This is my first time using seedbox.

I personally tried surfshark and windscribe works fine for torrent, you can go shopee search "vpn" and buy those cheap shared account to test which one is the best for you, after than only go subscribe own personal account yourself

the last time i use seedbox(many years ago), the storage is pretty big though....not sure now and not sure why now left 2GB(are u using free ones?)
but why i say it works both way is because not only the server download your files at full speed....a speed that you could never reach...the files downloaded to your computer will also be full speed(as fast as your line can go)
and it works 100% as compared to trying to guess which VPN works and which is not and speed also varies

I am using Noob package/plan from Blazeshosting for RM10/month. Decent 100GB storage.

Planning to subscribe to their VPS box for some testing and coding stuff.

Sub 5g plan around >RM50 because cheap but then add VPN lar add seebox la become >RM80 , wat is the points?
Just sub 100mbps fiber Rm80 can torrent already .

Well TS says because they are renting/moving so unable to be tied to a 2 year contract

5G is good because cheaper + portable

But yeah, no torrents, it's a limitation

Try and read into r/seedboxes, get a seed box from the recommendation there and download via 5G modified for unlimited bandwidth

Personally recommend going to Hetzner auction server and set it up with Swizzin (1GB uncapped port and at least 4TB of storage on Hetzner)

A bit more complicated to setup but you have more control over what you can do.

If not, find any seedboxes based in NL if possible, downside is NL peering to MY ISP might be a bit shitty

Ok. This proposal seems better. However, i can cancel the subscription anytime i want?

I am not their advocate to promote them neither do have any affiliation with them. It fits my use case. I pick 1 month plan first to give a try. However, RM10 is per month ya, annually would cost you RM120.

As for the bolded part, bad news for you and refer here. I prefer to pay monthly than a year.
