Seeds/Peers located BEFORE uploading a torrent!

Hey all. 2 days ago I made my first torrent through uTorrent. When I was looking for places to upload it without having the register for an account, the torrent was already locating seeds and peers! Within about 5 minutes it had located 1 of each, and within about 20 minutes it already had 4 peers located! How could this be possible? The only thing that I could think of was that despite the astronomical odds of doing so (2^160), it had SOMEHOW come up with EXACTLY the same hash code as another torrent, but when I checked for the hash code in Google, it came up empty, except for the one that I uploaded to SeedPeer myself. It eventually went up as high as 16 peers (!!!) when I was watching it. It's currently at 1 seed, 3 peers, none of which seem interested in downloading any part of the files that uTorrent claims they want and my upload ratio being at exactly 0.000, so I have NO idea where the seed got all the files from. Any idea what's causing this? I also can't help but thinking that the torrent itself may be corrupt in some way. Can someone test it out for me, please? The torrent's address is www.isohunt.com/torrent_details/396207289. Thanks in advance.
