How to download torrents on fiber connection?

The village cable guy installed a "fiber" box today at my home, I tried dsl before and it was way too slow because too far from the central.
The speed of this fiber connection is pretty good, though I can't download any torrent, I tried with vpn but same 0kb/s.
Any solution to bypass this restriction?
I think they use a proxy

Use a seedbox and download ftp or direct download.

Send me the torrent you wanna download. I'll download it on VPS and send you an http  link.

I am tempted by the seedbox.fr basic plan
7$ for 500gb per month, can I use this plan for torrents?
The other seedbox websites are either 300gb or 1250gb from 5 to 10$, 500gb is plenty enough

Re: How to download torrents on fiber connection?

That's the thing
Yesterday afternoon it was about 1.5mb/s download speed and now 256kb/s
But now torrents work
It's totally wacko this connection

Speed test by Ookla just gave me 12mb/s but downloads are still sticked to 256kb/s
Looks like http only is at high speed, downloads are limited to 256, , will ftp by seedbox reach http speed or it will be limited by ordinary download speed?

Ookla internet speed is showing 12mb download speed but all my downloads are between 200 and 240kbs!
How could it be?

Try to test on a foreign server (ex: Paris Orange) or a a diffrent website like www.testmy.net this will give you an accurate speed of what you have.
