  1. Maybe its lost in translation but it is impossible to use uTorrent for purposes of saving space with private files. You cannot delete the files unless someone else has a copy. It is possible to privately send to friends. Then one of you can delete the local copy and the other can keep their copy until a future time when they send back to you.
  2. You need to either create the torrent again or link the original content files to the torrent so that it shows Seeding status. I already described both procedures above. If you do not have the original content files. The torrent on its own is useless. Torrents only contain metadata about files.
  3. I have never seen uTorrent close when launching a Steam game, super weird for you. Perhaps its crashing memory restrictions or you have altered the disk cache setting memory setting? uTorrent always crashed for me with disk cache memory override at 1800MB (even though I have 32GB RAM), dropped it back to 512MB haven't had an issue since. I suspect it was hitting the 4GB 32bit limit. You could try Rafi's (above) uTorrent with LAA flag (Large Address Awareness).
  4. Do you have the original files? Torrents require someone to have the original files to seed and serve them. If nobody has the original files then the torrent is dead.
  5. Disable the "Initial Seeding/Semeaco Inicial" of torrent in properties. Does the computer with the files, show 100% Seeding? If not then you need to, Right click the torrent -> Advanced -> Set Download Location... find the files and then Stop the torrent and Right click -> Force Re-Check. When it shows 100% of the files then Right click -> Force Start. If you can't get it working remove the references in uTorrent, just start from the beginning and create the torrent again follow my step by step instructions above.
  6. Options -> Preferences -> UI Settings -> When Adding Torrents: [X] Activate the program window [X] Show options to change the name and location of the torrent data
  7. To be perfectly clear, the BitTorrent protocol is a distributed Peer2Peer networking protocol, someone needs to be serving the files for someone else. You can seed your files to the network only if others download them, and then only download them if when you want them someone is still seeding them. If you delete your own files they are gone. Maybe try some HDD undelete recovery software if it was fairly recently.
  8. Open uTorrent File -> Create New Torrent Add files or folders. Recommend: NOT Private and adding some open trackers like: udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:6969/announce [X] Start seeding Create Save the .torrent file on Desktop. Wait for hash check to finish. Right click torrent -> Force Start. Torrent won't stop unexpectedly due to seeding goals. Send the desktop .torrent file to recipient. e.g. email attachment or other means Optional: Right click torrent -> Copy Magnet URI Note: magnet links are only good for non private torrents with trackers. If you didn't add trackers and kept the torrent private then the recipient will need to do the following. Add .torrent to uTorrent Select torrent. Select Peers list. Right click in Peers -> Add peer. Add the public IP address and port number of the seeding computer and uTorrent instance. If connection cannot be established then verify firewall and port forwarding is open on the seeding computer. FYI uTorrent works with both IPv4 and IPv6 as applicable and this website will display public IPv4/IPv6 addresses and can help you verify the seeding computer is connectable. https://www.port.tools/port-checker-ipv6/ uTorrent: Options -> Preferences -> Connection -> Listening Port is the port number.
  9. When you create the torrent in uTorrent, you will need to set as Private, that will disable PEX/DHT. But as stated above its kind of pointless. You will need someone/something to serve it to you.... your own computer. Something needs to be seeding it for you to download it. So sure you can seed from one city and download in another but it won't be on the internet unless you are. And you will be forced into manually adding the ip address and port number of your own seeding computer when you want to download it (right click in the peer list -> add peer).
  10. Next time check if your torrent is stuck with 1 completed piece. I always found stopping and starting the torrents to do the trick.
  11. Are they popular torrents? Can only seed to other people who are currently downloading.... nobody downloading = no seeding. Are you connectable or behind a NAT or service provider CGNAT, have you confirmed port forwarding is working? And firewall is not blocking. Not much else, other than time seeding and waiting. Try this page IPv6 and IPv4 Open Port Checker Tools - Verify Port Forwarding Open uTorrent -> Preferences -> Connection -> Listening port used for incoming connections. Copy the port number and test on the page I linked above. "Success or Failed"? Try with both IPv4 and/or IPv6 as applicable. If success, there is nothing more to do.
  12. Do you mean the 7.11GB torrent? With 36 swarm seeds? Do you have any goal overrides set? Right Click Torrent -> Properties -> Seeding Goals
  13. The START command in Windows Command Prompt is used to fork processes. Open a command prompt type START /? for usage information. Basic example would be: start notepad utorrent.exe without version should be the latest, can you try opening it and then Help -> Check for new version. FYI there is an environment variable that you can use to make your path more generic, on command prompt: echo %APPDATA%
  14. If you can't see the torrent in the list then you either have an active non matching search filter (top of job list) or you haven't selected the category corresponding to the torrent status in the Side Bar [F7] .
