torrentstuffed Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm using uTorrent version 3.4 (build 30660) [32-bit] I am never able to seed with this version and a previous version (3.2.2). I can download very well. I've looked through previous forum posts, but none have worked. Here's what I've done: "I have used the network test and configuration (i.e., ctrl-G) and my Bandwith is good and the Network is good, both when tested together and when alone. Under preferences: BitTorrent, I "allow incoming legacy connections" and the Protocol Encryption: Outgoing is at Forced (Enabled didn't work either). Under preferences: Bandwith, I have Max Upload Rate set at 0 for unlimited and the same for Max Download Rate. I have 600 max connections, 100 max peers/torrent, 8 upload slots/torrent." Apologies because you get this question a lot. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 And does the torrent actually have people downloading it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentstuffed Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 According to the torrent web site, one of the torrents has 117 uploaders and 72 downloaders. In terms of uTorrent, under the Trackers tab, it has 116 seeds and 73 peers. The other ones have almost none, so that makes sense why they're not working. Thanks for the response.

torrentstuffed Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 To test out whether it was a problem with a lack of downloaders, I decided to download a really popular torrent (Family Guy episode S12E13 - 10485 seeds 1753 peers) and check out the upload speed. During the download, the seeding averaged around 3-4kb/s. After download, the seeding dropped down to 0kb/s, though it occasionally jumped up to 0.3kb/s. So it doesn't seem to be a downloader problem. Either way, seeding during download and after download seem throttled. I read that perhaps the ISP throttles my uploading speed. However, I thought that with allowing incoming connections and forcing Outgoing protocol encryption would avoid that. I'm in Canada, if that matters at all.

DreadWingKnight Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 So in short, I'm right. There's no one to upload to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentstuffed Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 So I guess everyone else is already connected to another person, and only four people need an uploader? Thanks for the clarification. I think I just got confused. I guess there's no possible solution to increase my uploading speed other than to wait it out.
