The only possible solution is to grab freeleech w/ enough leechers ...

I realize that it's not an option for everyone, but many members with minor-to-moderate ratio deficits could climb out if they donated funds to maintain the site, and receive credits that would lift their ratio.

Once above the minimum ratio, it's a matter of not taking more porn (expressed in bits and bytes) than one gives back.

1. There are no leechers actively downloading any of the torrents you have recently finished... At least not the ones that appear in your profile

2. You may not have your port forwarding settings correctly configured on your home network. By default, Transmission uses port 51413. This port (or the port you have changed it to use) needs to be forwarded through your home network to your computer, both in TCP and UDP in order to get proper upload traffic.
