Obviously it's easier to do at a fast speed but upload speed isn't a technical requirement or a rule.

Most trackers use the tit-for-tat alogirthm to stop you doing that |
It's not just trackers. Most
clients in non-seeding mode do that too, as do all clients in "initial seeding" mode.
The amount a client decides to send to another client will in many clients be based on how much the other client sends to the first client. Yeah I read that sentence and went
as well.
Also initial seeders will block uploading to any client if that client does not upload pieces sent to it, and will also prioritize any client that forwards pieces on quickly.
