Complete noobie, no idea what I'm doing?

Yup, just make sure you are seeding what you have downloaded. Don't worry if no-one downloads from you all the time.
Quick last question, what if I don't download something in a really long time?
-
Doesn't have to be quick or last
Then you don't get any new porn to watch!
I'm not sure I follow you but there is no need to download anything. The only rule is that if you do download then you must share a proportion back for others to share. That is why you need to keep seeding those torrents you have downloaded.

Haha, now I'm the confused one. I thought you had to download the video in order to seed stuff (I still don't really know what Seeding is lol)

Seeding 101 (no, I have no idea what that means but I believe it is a US term for beginners, please).
Seeding is something you haven't done and I don't know why.
The general term means that you are sharing stuff on your hard drive with people trying to download the file in a torrent.
It comes in two basic flavours. When you post a torrent as the original uploader you seed the torrent until there is enough information shared among the downloaders that everyone can complete (please don't ask).
Now we come to you. If you, as a downloader, have grabbed the complete file(s) you become a seeder if you leave your torrent client running with that torrent. In other words, don't just stop things because you have a complete file, there are others in the queue waiting for what you have.
Just to complicate things a little, all the while you are downloading you should (if you have your settings right) also be passing on (seeding) pieces to other downloaders.
You have managed to download 529MB without anyone wanting anything from you. Not a capital offence but enough to get your download rights disabled if you don't allow people to have a share of what you downloaded.
Try restarting your download stuff in your client so that it shows as 'seeding'.

Yeah, I figured that out now. Too bad I still have to download them to seed, my computer doesn't have much space left and all the videos I download to get my ratio up I'm never gonna watch
-
There is not much point in downloading stuff just to get your ratio up…unless they are freeleech movies. Even less point if you don't want to watch them anyway.
Just keep the torrents you have already downloaded seeding in your client.
-
There is also the option to get your ratio up by uploading a new torrent to the system. That can sometimes get a little sticky though (no pun intended)

They're all freeleech movies, which is why I probably won't be watching them

freeleech doesn't mean they aren't worth watching, i often make torrents free leech if I have downloaded it but cant get my ratio up, i then use my seed points and make it freeleech. :cheers:

Ditto. If I grab a movie that I think deserves a wider audience, I often make it freeleech. That way I get the movie for 'free' as it were and help others with their ratio with a bit of luck
