Lackofname Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I am trying to upload a torrent for the first time, and think I'm doing something wrong.I followed the guide here: http://www.utorrent.com/help/guides/make-a-torrentThen, I uploaded the torrent file to theaudiobookbay.com - their guidelines are here: http://theaudiobookbay.com/member/torrents.php?mode=uploadThe guidelines specify "Please download the torrent you just uploaded after the submission, and START it in your bittorrent program to make it seeded. "So I uploaded the torrent file, then downloaded it myself, and clicked start. However, the torrent is stuck at 0.0% with 0 Seeders and 3 (7) peers. Shouldn't I be a seeder, since I uploaded it? If not, then how is it ever going to get downloaded? I'm uploading 0 B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Did you "tell" uTorrent where to find the data for the torrent when you reloaded it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lackofname Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm not sure? I clicked the "Download this torrent" link. The window opened, and I clicked "OK" when I downloaded it from the site I uploaded to.Typically a folder opens up in users/(My PC name)/downloads, but since it's 0.0%, a folder hasn't appeared there.
