Uploading with uTorrent: Questions and Answers
-
Which number is the one to watch to know how long to seed a new torrent?
look at the seeds column - when you upload the torrent the seeds column will show as 0(1) so once the "1" increases that means there are more seeders, which is what you want to look at when uploading a new torrent…..
and note: the number within the brackets is the actual number and the number outside is the number of users you are connected to
(which as amice has mentioned may or may not be the same as what is reported on the site)so - @swally:
I'm currently downloading one file–seeds 1(1) peers 1(2)
in this case since you are downloading you need to be connected to the seeds - here, you are connected to the one seeder and also connected to one leecher (out of those 2 one is you [as gzlong explained] so you can only be connected to 1)
-> the reason you are connected to the leechers as well is cause if they have 50% of the data and you have 25% then you can also leech the remaining 25% from them, or if you has 50% and they had 25% then you can seed to them
… and seeding six files showing values something like seeds 0(37) peers 3(6)
here its vice versa, since you are seeding you need to connect to the leechers - you are not connected to any of the 36 other seeders (you don't need to be since you have the file), and you are connected to 3 leechers out of 6
and you're not 'dim' you're just confused

Some advice on doing this in BitTorrent 6.4:
You'll be prompted to download your torrent after uploading it. Do so. Now, add your torrent to your queue in BitTorrent (as if you were going to download a new movie). It'll look like it's downloading, but will get stuck at 0%. Now:
- Click the "Stop" button.
- Right-click your torrent. Choose "Advanced" and then "Set Download Location." (This will remain greyed-out if you have not stopped the torrent!)
- Browse to the location on your hard drive where the original video file was located. Choose that file. Click OK.
- Right-click your torrent again. Choose "Force Re-Check." Allow the torrent to check that all the pieces and files are there. Watch the blue bar in your "General" tab (bottom of your screen) for this process to finish.
- Once the recheck is done, right-click your torrent and choose "Start." You will be ready to seed.
- Wait for moderator approval! If this is granted, your torrent will begin to seed.
Hope this helps…

I also have a little problem wit uTorrent and uploading. In theory it works, but I have to stop torrent and start it again, maybe even once every half an hour or it doesn't seed. After I stop it and start over, it suddenly starts to seed at high speed while before it was zero. The interesting thing is that I cannot update tracker, which is the problem in my opinion. Tracker doesn't update and I have 2 leechers in uTorrent while there are 10 or so. So I have to restart often to actually seed. Don't have the same problem with other trackers. Works the same after I just uploaded a torrent, even if it is active it won't seed before I restart it, as only then it updates the information.
Any way to solve this or i should continue as it is? At day I can restart often but it becomes impossible to seed while I am not at the computer.
Any help appreciated -
Are you sure you have your ports forwarded properly?
Another thing to look at is if you are overwhelming your computer's RAM. If I have too many over active torrents going at once on my seedbox, it overloads my RAM and I have to reduce the number of active torrents.

Well, could be the ports, but I cannot do anything about them. But I don't have this problem with other trackers
-
if you don't have this problem with other trackers, you can't have it with this one either. the only difference is that this tracker doesn't reply with 'offline scrape' signal. if you have queuing enabled, then it can be your problem. with this tracker you need to turn this option off (it works even when enabled, though), or you can use 'forced' option to start your torrents without waiting, but then these torrents don't fit set queuing limits.

Hi. I was trying to upload a new torrent. everything went smoothly but the moment i clicked Upload. it said, "Please select a category". Problem is, there is no drop-down box there. I tried to type something, which it allowed to, but still it prompted, "Please Select a Category".
I am using a Windows 7 os. thank you

I have the same problem. I tried to upload goodies when the torrent maker asks me to "Select a category", but there's no option on the dropdown list. And it seems that this issue is still not fixed
