Kryten Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hi guys,Can anyone tell me why I can't seem to seed any files I have uploaded AND downloaded!?I am new to torrents. I'm running Windows 7 and get my internet via a Thomson router that has a broadband connection. Although my router is wireless capable, I use my pc connected via the router LAN port.I am a member of a website with a private tracker & followed their instructions to upload about 8 torrent files. All was ok for a month or so, but recently uTorrent has stopped showing me as seeding!! The website also had my status as 'not connected' and 'ports closed' yet I had not changed anything!!I have just downloaded a song album off a well known torrent site and although others are uploading from me now, uTorrent doesn't register me as seeding!?Any ideas please?Thanks.

moogly Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Is the network icon green in µT systray? (green circle)Be sure the µT port is open in your router and no security program is blocking µT and the p2p traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Thanks for the reply dude. Well, it seems to change! Sometimes it is green, but other times it is orange!! When I run the test, everything comes back as ok!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 And whan you're downloading a torrent (during 10-15 min, like one of Libreoffice http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.0/win/x86/LibO_3.4.0_Win_x86_install_multi.exe.torrent ), does the network icon stay green? Because if you have only seding tasks in µT and nobody want to leech you, the green circle can become the orange triangle (and it's normal).That's why you need to know if your client is able to keep the green circle.

Kryten Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Ah, well I am only seeding about 15 files at the moment and one person is downloading one of them and that seems to be working ok. When I download, everything seems fine. I also deleted my old torrents and re-done them again after re-configuring my router and firewall. So, the fact that the icon in the bottom-right of uTorrent changes from green to orange is quite normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Yes, when all the active tasks (downloading or seeding, whatever) imply only few vanishing peer connections (that's the case if no peer wants to leech you or the torrent swarms are almost dead), µT can display you're not able to receive incoming connections.That's why when you start a new downloading task, the network icon changes from orange to green.
