Yep if you run a seedbox you shouldn’t be surprised if consumer-grade offerings don’t want you on their service, they provision their capacities, whole business model, for a certain average usage.
There’s a huge difference between “I downloaded that ISO because I needed it and am going to seed it 24/7 because I’m too lazy to turn off my PC in the evening” and “I grab every fresh release and mirror it”.
OP you gotta pro up. You don’t want a VPN you want rackspace at a datacentre or IXP. If all you’re seeding really is linux ISOs talking to the right people even might get you free access to overcapacity, as in free transit into whatever your location doesn’t pay transit for, and whatever minute-by-minute capacity doesn’t cost them anything on the upstream (those links are billed by max bandwidth used, not transfer volume, so if there’s a lull in their traffic you can soak it up and all it costs is electricity).

You’re probably right.
But the service specifically says unlimited, and that it supports torrents.
