My download speed is less than one-twentieth my upload speed.

No, I'm not finished downloading it. It's only at 93%. It was doing fine, but then the DL speed just plummetted.

Upload speed is consistently around 35 KB/s.

I really don't know WHAT I am seeding. Why should I be uploading when I haven't completed downloading?

I've had the same thing going on -- although my DL speed has not dropped. I've been DLing a 5G torrent for about 30 hours -- and the status bar tells me that I've DLed 3.1G and ULed 4.3G. I've asked why I seem to be seeding -- when the torrent is NOT fully downloaded -- but the admins in the other forums have refused to comment. Perhaps Firon can enlighten us!

That's not seeding if it's not 100% finished, just plain old uploading. Torrents can upload everything you download before the torrent is fully completed (and in fact is a required part of the protocol).

If availability is less than 1, you can't finish.
