Can't connect to peers, seeding at less than 1kb/s, opened port
-
I've gone through most of the guides/posts about problems seeding after downloading.
Here is my issue and setup:
I am using Utorrent 3.3.2
I can download fine and have no problem uploading to other torrent site.
I checked which port I was using, and then tested to see if it was open, and it wasn't.
I went through the settings and enabled UPnP port mapping, NAT-PMP port mapping, and Add Windows Firewall Exception.
I logged into my router following the guide online for port forwarding for it (it's a 2wire/pace).
I picked a port (in the 23000 range), set it for my connection, checked that everything looked the same as in the screenshots of how it should look, and then saved it in the router. I then used two separate services to check to see if the port was now open, and the same ones that were previously saying it is closed are now saying it is open. When I run the setup thing in uTorrent though, the network check still gave a yellow check mark. Someone online said that that was just because of the uTorrent version and not to worry about that. I restarted uTorrent, checked the setting were all correct, and shut down all my other "seeding" torrents except for 2 or 3 that had leechers, one of which has like 40 leachers. I'm uploading at less than 1kb/s, and peers only connect for about a second. What do I need to fix?
