<![CDATA[Seeding with very low kb/s]]>Hey there,

I'm looking to increase my ratio with seeding but I just can't get any upload speed.  Even with files that have about 15 leechers I'm not getting any upload.  Current file that I am downloading will upload at .1-.5kb/s which is terrible because my potential download is around 2mb/s+.  This is killing my ratio and I have dropped below the minimum and I really want to get it back up.  What information do you guys need to know to verify settings are correct or why my upload is extremely low or null.

It's possible you are downloading less popular torrents, or those that have few leechers and therefore are not uploading.

I say all firewalls, because you might have multiple in use, the Windows built-in (to which UPnP should have created an exception for µTorrent), your internet security suite (aka anti virus) a stand alone software firewall and finally the firewall in your modem/router (which should let them pass because of UPnP, but you might have manually chosen safer settings prohibiting such exception creation through UPnP).

It seems your µTorrent uses random ports.

Are you using a VPN, if yes, which provider?

However it shows a green check at the bottom right corner of uTorrent.  Any other suggestions?

The downloading peer's torrent client will download from other seeder's torrent clients to which they can connect and request what they need to get.

Steps to try to get your torrent client connectble:
a) activate UPnP port-forwarding in the client (µTorrent)
b) restart your modem/router (the box from the ISP)
c) restart your computer
(above assumes the modem/router has UPnP activated, which should be it's default)

µTorrent got a built-in test:
Options > Setup Guide > select the Network test and run it. If it returns a green check symbol, it is connectible, if it is yellow/orange it is not connectible. If not connectible, please visit the µTorrent help pages and forum and portforwarding.com (with details how to manually configure a port-forwarding for many router/modems).
