Godinster Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I've been attempting to share a handful of files for a few hours now. I uploaded to various sites and the sites themselves seem to work fine but my client is not actually uploading anything. It took an hour for it to even upload anything at all, and it says Seeds 0 (2) as well as Peers 0 (3-5)I tried this a month ago and within an hour it was uploading lots. Some sites [MiniNova I believe] is saying there's 0 seeders for the torrent I just uploaded and I'm getting little to no uploads at all. It looks like there's peers trying to download from me but cannot connect.I've followed every FAQ such as updating router, using DD-WRT, using a DMZ, forwarding my ports, to no avail. I know for sure there's more people trying to download these files but I am having no luck figuring out why the heck it isn't working. Peers 0 (8) means there's 8 people trying to download the file but none are actually able to, correct? My bandwidth is uncapped and I have nothing else uploading or downloading so I'm a bit confused. Any help would be appreciated. This is especially confusing because a month ago when I did it, it worked just fine.Here's a picture of what I mean: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Looks like it's simply a case of no one wanting the torrents you're seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godinster Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Why would it say "Seeds (0) 9" then? I thought that meant 9 people were trying to download but none actually are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Because you're seeding and you don't connect to seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 That just means peer information from the trackers included 9. That may include seeds or stale downloaders that aren't actually there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godinster Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 alright I'll take your word for it since you know what you're talking aboutthanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 µTorrent does not actually know if those peers are seeds or downloaders. It will sort them as it connects to them, but sometimes the IPs are stale or it was never able to connect, so the peer count gets artificially inflated.
