<![CDATA[Uploaded torrent for the first time - still seeding?]]>Hi,

I have uploaded a torrent file for the first time and its still seeding. Only 1.8mB data is uploaded and its stopped. Is that normal? or should I wait?

I have followed all the instructions however I need clarity on something.

  1. I did point the .torrent file to the correct location of the data file in my computer - which is not the default download folder. Should data files of torrents be placed in default download folder only?
  2. How do I check if torrents file is correctly linking back to the data file?

Thanks much!

PM @kalayaan with the torrent URL for your reward.

[you can change behavior from preferences/queueing]

Yes indeed, tracker "tracker.gaytor.rent" says working with 12 seeds and 0 Peers.

So I guess I'll just have to wait and let it do its thing. Thanks again!

Every once in a while you'll see it actually being uploaded to other people, but for the most part it will just sit there seeding. You just have to go to the "trackers" tab and see if it says "working" in the status. If it tracker "tracker.gaytor.rent" says working, everything is alright. If it says "not registered" that means your torrent is dead and it cannot be reached by other people.
