<![CDATA[Maybe I don't understand how UPLoads are counted]]>two things are confusing me.

I started a torrent no where else on the site, Joe Gage Closed Set, and it shows that it has been snatched 31 times.  However, in my profile, I have 0 upload credit.  Certainly I should at least get the credit for the first upload, and one would think of the 31 other snatches, I would have had something to do with it.

Similarly I seeded, The Guy Site - Round Robin Fuckin Studs.  The site shows 5 leachers (and I know for certain that no one has taken a full upload from me), yet my bittorent (Vuze) only shows one in the swarm.  And no upload credit.  How does this work?

An avi the exact same size as yours has been available online for over a year, so it's possible that some of the 31 had that file already, and clicked Download in order to seed it.

The number you see in the Snatched column increases whenever someone downloads the torrent file only. It is not necessary to download the entire content itself for that number to change.

What you see there, is a temporary picture from the tracker, which is session based.

Session based means, that if the connection to the tracker is interrupted too long, or you pause a torrent too long, or you stop your torrent client, or you shut the computer in standby, or the tracker is restarted (this list may not be exhaustive) it is restart at zero.

However each torrent client's announce (typically each 30 minutes) added upload on a torrent is added into the grand total of upload in your Profile.

What I see right now is 1.8 GB of upload as current tracker picture on the second torrent and zero on the first you mention. Zero on the first you mention makes sense, because there was a tracker restart this night and there are no downloading peers.

It is likely that you get only slightly more that the files size as upload out of an own uploaded torrent initially. The less more, the slower the initial upload is. My own experience is 1.0 to 1.3x the file size. More will follow if you stay seeding for years and all others stopped seeding.
