<![CDATA[Is it normal to not seed for days at a time?]]>I've been on this site for quite a long time so I like to think I'm quite familiar with how things work and whatnot. But over the past few weeks I've found that I'm actually seeding very little despite having everything set up correctly (and afaik optimally).

I have about ~50 torrents completed and seeding right now, but other than a little spike when I uploaded a torrent of my own I've not had any traffic for 5-6+ days. These torrents are of varying sizes, all reasonably popular on the site, and often I can see that there are peers that I'm simply not connected to for whatever reason - though I can see no reason why not. My internet speeds are pretty average/good, ports are forwarded, torrent client reporting good connections & no errors.

Just a little confusing. Any suggestions?

I'm happy to seed when there are no peers, I just don't quite understand why so consistently it seems that I'm not 'called upon' to seed when there are actually peers trying to download.

And if you're the only seeder and there are peers connected and not seeding [disabling VPN/not recommended] or right click on torrent, point on Bandwidth Allocation set to high and Force Start will helps ...
