Downloading Large File, Need To Speed Things Up

[Campo1988]

**I think this is the forum closest to what my problem is (if not, please let me know and direct me to the correct one!).**

I am downloading a 3.94 GB file, or trying to, I need seeds to help me. So far, there was only 1 seed: 1 (1), most times is 0 (1). Really not enough at all for such a file size, especially when said seed is offline (while offline, am I able to still download from them, or do I need to be online at the same time as they are?) Now, though, seed number = 0 (0), does that mean seed is offline, or the file/torrent has been deleted/removed? Though, I do have 0 (1) peers. Can anyone help me with either seeding the download, or finding (or even creating(?)) seeds for the download? Please?!?!

XP Pro SP2

1 MB Broadband connection

Using uTorrent

P.S. I am downloading another file, (slackware), and when I start that, the number of seeds x (xx) changes, why is that? And why is it I used to have (only) 1 seed but now 0 for the 3.94 GB file/torrent?

Thanx.

Edit:

My seed now = 1 (1) and peers = 0 (0). But, the D/L speed was just under 20 KB/s, now, just as I began typing this, it is less than one. (?) I think my PC is temperamental, and suddenly seed = 0 (0). Then, starts slowly speeding up again. It's up and down. I'm really confused, what's going on?!?!

The torrent is almost dead. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it besides being patient.

Well that's a dissapointment. From the time I posted the first post in this thread, 'till now, the download has increased to 26.4%. My main seed is a good couple thousand miles away. I had another that I guess was closer, both were online at the same time, and it said it would finish in less than a day. Thanx anyway.
