Download: 8 MB
Upload: 780 KB

Thanks, so you could expect a best possible seeding speed of ~ 75 kBytes/s (80% of 780 kBit/s) as the target value to reach and see on the right bottom corner of µTorrent for the UL speed.

What did the Speedtest give as result?

Sorry, what number should I have in text box?
Ratio is: <= _______% or seeding time is <= (min) _________

Currently it shows 150%… so should I be reducing it?

No you can keep it, "Ratio is : <= 150%" is a good setting, it should be 100% or higher, which it is. I had just the guess that there was the default of 50%

Currently it shows 150%… so should I be reducing it?

It looks my advise to seed only 1 Torrent is not adapted to your situation. Your upload (seed) speed on Buck Angel is incredible low.

You should start some more…and look to find torrents with a low number of seeders vs leecher. Buck Angel got many seeders (I have download it at 300 kB/s) but it isn't you taking (giving) a good piece of the cake.

Please do the speed test, too...

Another thing to look at, the seed priority setting of µTorrent, better to change the default value:
µTorrent > Options > Preferences > Seed While Ratio : <= 50 % to 100% or higher , else your downloads are likely to stop after 50% of re-seeding (which is about your ratio…)

Could you advise your ISP advertised Download / Upload speeds, too to let us see what you could expect to reach with a optimized setup.

Sorry, I have no idea how to change my security settings.

There were some good ideas here which I've taken advantage of and made the suggested changes to uTorrent.
I know I was wrong to stop all my uploads previously and I'm trying very hard to make it right.
Any others suggestions to get me back on track would be suggested.

I'm seeding Buck Angel now, you can download that.

OK, I see you as a seeder there and connectable.

So I may be wrong, please just do a quick test :
µTorrent > Options > Speed Guide… > Test if port is forwared correctly
It will open a webpage with either a green OK within the message or a red Error. If OK, your setup is right. Please tell us the result.

This proofs he is providing content, unless the big mass of members and deserves help. As he is visibly member of another big torrent site with gay content, an invitation to there to let him 'new' content is meaningless.

However he is not seeding them. In my humble opinion, his issue is SEEDING and to be not connectable and therefore falling off seeding as soon as his uploads are completed by leechers being connectable. Similar when he is downloading.

Oh well.

To say it differently: With your average upload speed of ~22 kB/s, downloading content from here and try to seed it back will only worsen your situation. To get you back on track, you must stop all DL and seed only for a long while what you have downloaded or got already.
You have downloaded so much, that the ratio requirement got the highest possible at 0.80, which means you need to seed 198 GB to get back on track. This will take you 2616 hours or 109 days at the current average speed without leeching anything !

Your UL speed is good to seed a single file (there is for example your Buck Alex Rides the Sybian with 27 waiting leecher!) at a time well. Splitting it to more than two will help nobody, just imagine the long time it will take to get a 700 MB CD-R at 1kB/s…

You should try to improve your average UL speed : Make sure you are connectable, use transport encryption (don't accept legacy incomming connections), run you PC more hours a day seeding.

This is nothing against you, just pure maths.

Sincerely yours
Uwe
