Seeding Torrents not uploading
-
The peers I see are all seeding (there are many) and nobody is currently downloading.
So as in the previous answer, try VERY new torrents, 1 file only, 1 seeder only and yet few downloading peers ("ride the wave" as a member called it)
or
the freeleech torrents
I'd take only torrents for files I like too keep and seed them "eternally".

just wait and wait
nothing we can do T.T -
I know that this may come as a rather late reply, but there is another factor to consider that most people are completely unaware of…. The ever so dreaded issue of the port forwarding in the NAT not being setup sufficiently.
See... On most internet connections, you will have a single IP address (usually a /32 subnet), which establishes your link to the internet, and then you have your private local /24 subnet (usually 192.168.1.0/24). What happens in your modem is that your computer gets the IP address of (for example) 192.168.1.100, but your internet IP is something like 10.206.173.2. When the request for an internet link is sent to your router (usually built into the modem), your router converts the IP address of the source machine from 192.168.1.100 to 10.206.173.2 before passing it out to the internet. This is most common and is the basis under which most internet connections work.
That being said however, when users attempt to connect to you on 10.206.173.2, unless your modem knows specifically that the port that the user is attempting to connect on (both TCP and UDP) need to be forwarded to 192.168.1.100, your modem/router doesn't know what to do with it and thus drops the connection. When this happens, it makes it extremely difficult to use the more passive approach of your torrent client announcing your presence to the tracker to announce to other peers, then having your computer send the initial signal to the other user's computer in which to use the follow-back path to be able to connect to your computer, despite the router not knowing specifically to forward that port. This can cause some serious communication issues with our tracker, which may result in seemingly being unable to seed at all.
I'm not sure if this particular case applies to you or not, but it's worth a look to see. In general, you can find the port number that your torrent client uses in your torrent client's settings. This number will vary from one computer to the next, so it's important to know which specific port that your torrent client uses to make sure that said port number (both TCP and UDP) are correctly forwarded to your computer. This will allow other torrent users to be able to connect directly to your machine, without running into the issues with having to pass through the NAT to accept the connection. In general, you can find information on how to setup the proper port forwarding on your computer at http://www.portforward.com/ however some of our staff may be able to assist you with getting this looked at if you are not able to do so yourself.

I'm facing the same issue and the facts are:
NAT works 100% because I've other ports to the same computer for another torrent client (same utorrent) and works flawless (has worked for almost 5 years).
In order to discart port forwarding I swapped the ports from the trackers (I changed to GT the one I used to use to another tracked just in case).
Client configuration is fine, because I use one similar to the other tracker in the same program.
I've got seeding more than 70 torrents and about 10-12 of them always have leechers.
Speed limit is far below the average download rate and I've got plenty of upload margin compared to the speed limit (upload).How so I dont seed? I dont get it.
I'm seeding, I've leechers, I've bandwith but I don't upload.:blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

You may have to remove the torrent and re-add it. Check out "seeding a torrent" here….
https://www.gaytor.rent/uploadguide.php#95How many leechers versus seeders there are on the ones you are seeding? Some have many seeders and little or zero leechers, which would be one reason for no upload.
-
What I saw were missing downloading peers > We need more downloads LOL
-
Another example, Im seeding this torrent romeo_ib(part1) and there is only one leecher connected. Ok, I have my limit up to 50kb/s and the guy si downloading at 4.3kb/s.
Of course could be the super rare possibility that he is downloading limited to 135kb/s instead of taking full advantage of my free uploading bandwidth and raise it up to 180kb/s.
-
There are more than 40 other seeds and you don't know which other torrents he's downloading at the same time. So the 4.3KB/s look to be what you can expect (even zero would be normal with so much other seeds).
-
Are you by any chance using a VPN? I'm starting to think that perhaps your provider may be throttling you as soon as they detect P2P traffic on their network. This is a fairly common practice in North America, but I'm not sure about where you are located.
-
actually the whole system is just ridiculous and does not work… it is practically impossible to maintain rating since nobody downloads the file I am seeding , and I can not download new files since my ratio is low...
-
The system probably is ridiculous but that is the rule when you join. I really feel after just a day you haven't given it a chance.
First, take it gently. Don't go mad and get your download disabled. Yours isn't. You can download new files, just be careful to start.
If you can, leave all your downloads seeding. I have often come to my computer in the morning to find I've seeded a lot because someone has picked up on something I downloaded months ago.
Build up your ratio with popular torrents or freeleech torrents. And build up your seed bonus by posting in the forums, adding pictures (no need to have downloaded the torrent), voting on what you have downloaded.
And the biggest boost? Post your own torrents
-
May I also suggest looking for Freeleech torrents? In particular, look for the link that says "Ratio Lift" when searching for torrents. The selection may not be all that great of ratio lift torrents, however that's exactly what they're there for. You do not get dinged to download them, but you do get the upload credit for seeding them to other people.
-
I would pass on the Ratio Lift torrents - the choice is so limited and the freeleech period is variable.
Stick to the Freeleech list with torrents that have leechers and a decent freeleech period left
