jewelisheaven Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 You need to go through the procedure linked above. After you create a torrent, for uT to show it as seeding, you have to RE-POINT the download to the directory you have it saved in. If the torrent job is already loaded, STOP it, right click, advanced, change download location and be sure to CLICK on the folder / file you are trying to share. Are there other questions?

jewelisheaven Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 It sounds like you should check out the BitTorrent Primer (link #2 on Guides). You cannot seed something you do not have. Therefore if you made the torrent then you tell uT where the file is stored. If on the other hand you did not make the torrent, you just tell uT where to download it to and it starts the process.

millieme5 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 so weh someone wants it utorrent will just get the file from my oc and start uploading it for them? as long as utorrent active? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 As long as your torrent is active in the uT GUI yep that's how it works. If it's inactive or stopped peers can't get it and you're not sharing. Pretty neat huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
