Discussion on this topic is continued… here:  https://community.gaytor.rent/index.php?topic=30201.0   This topic is now locked. …For what it's worth... here's the standard advice I've been sending members in the past, who have written in with ratio problems, and also have turned out to NOT be "Connectable" :  MANY members have followed this advice, and been able to resolve the issue. Have a look: ....The main problem I see is that you are currently shown as "NOT connectable" Your µTorrent is reported as not connectible by our tracker. That means requests from other peers to get parts of the file don't reach it, and in YOUR case you only have a FEW torrents that are actively seeding, which all have DOZENS of other (connectable) members also seeding... so it's going to be rare that you actually get a request for data. Did you already set up port forwarding on your DSL modem to match to match the port used by your uTorrent program?  If you're unsure how to configure the internal settings of your DSL modem, you may need to consult a computer technician, or have alook here: http://portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/Torrent/Torrentindex.htm After you have established the port forwarding with your DSL Modem: a) Select the UPnP port forwarding and Windows firewall exception in µTorrent's connection settings. Then restart µTorrent. b) Reboot your modem/router (the box to connect to the internet) You can test if your µTorrent is connectible there: µTorrent > Options > Setup Guide > select the "Network" test only and run it. The result should be a green check sign. If it is yellow/orange, your µTorrent is not connectible. Visiting http://www.canyouseeme.org/ can also confirm the port you've chosen to forward, to confirm that it is actually open. This is a free utility for remotely verifying if a port is open or closed. It is useful to users who wish to verify port forwarding and check to see if a server is running or a firewall or ISP is blocking certain ports. There are a good number of other possibilities making a torrent client not connectible, such as security software and the such…" Take care, Pawpcorn, GTRU Staff

That method in theory also works, although I knew not of the existence of this button, nor have I ever used it, so I cannot confirm that the theory and reality are one and the same.

Possible problems in uTorrent after upload: After you add the torrent to uTorrent's list and execute all instructions from Step 4, uTorrent will perform an attempt to establish a connection with the tracker. Sometimes, the first attempt may fail. If that happens, a timer will be set, and when the timer expires, a new attempt will be performed. During this time, you may see in uTorrent the following error: Unregistered torrent, and on the site your torrent will be registered as inactive (or dead). This means that the tracker can't see you seeding the torrent. This problem is solved by itself after the next connection. In order not to wait the next attempt, you can manually force uTorrent to try to connect again. The following picture shows you how to do that: [image: QTMEN3.JPG]
