Transmission Settings
-
I'm using transmission on mac and trying to get my seeding up, but none of the torrents I've downloaded seem to be seeding. Is there specific settings I should be using?

@shdwslayer I don't think in your case that it's a matter of any setting within Transmission itself. There are at least one, but possibly two things that are affecting your ability to seed though.
First, there are not very many leechers on any of the torrents you are seeding, and on the most part, the ones that do have leechers have a large number of seeders (100+) on them, so getting traffic on those torrents may become difficult, especially if your upload speed is slower.
Second, you may have an issue with your port forwarding settings not being in order. For best results (especially for seeding), it is critical that you make sure that the port your torrent client uses is forwarded through your home router (or VPN if you use one) to your computer, both in TCP and UDP. Without this, getting upload traffic at all can become difficult, and in some cases, even become impossible. Proper port forwarding settings will solve this issue.
It would appear that you are using a VPN, so throttling of P2P traffic from your ISP shouldn't be an issue.
