How to: Settup uTorrent for Seeding

**GeekMaster1** · January 11th, 2008, 08:47 AM

Many apologies if there is another thread like this, but I have used the search function and couldn't find something for my specific needs.

My problem is with seeding.

I have many different torrent sites and for some reason my upload isn't being counted on any of them. I just need to know what setting in uTorrent is making this happen. I have already disabled DHT.

cant you just upload your screens to image shack or something like that, it saves the hassel of acctually downloading the file.

have you checked that your ports are forwarded

There are size limitations for screenshots.

Under the Tracker Status, what does it say when it announces? What does it say when you do a manual announce?

Cut your pictures down to what you need only with Paint, and then up them to imageshack.

Did you disable local peer discovery and peer exchange? Some trackers will ban you if you don't have these disabled.

have you tried not having like 100 torrents all at once, it takes up space each one.

and are you sure that your isp isnt throttling your speed?

My download is 30MBs down 8MB up.
I pay for a package

so is that a yes or a not to the isp is throttling yoru speed, it doesnt neccessaryly maen that you pay for a lower bandwith, it is where they cut of your connection to other peers, and it stops your from seeding. that is why did it, it doesnt affect the normal internet browsing.

i don't know the details but i pay for a server package. when people download from my FTP they get 1MB speeds
My home server website is pretty fast too.
The point is I live in NY and my connection is better than most, so I don't think that is the issue here

what trackers are you using? and when do you finish downloading the torrent, like first or like last of the swarm.

and check if your upload speeds are faster when your downloading than when you are seeding

I think they are

well basically, what i mean by finishing downloading a torrent is, are you like one of the first leechers to finish, and so it is like 2 seeders ( which includes you) seeding to 50 users? or is it where you finish then it is like 20 seeding to 20 leechers.

where are you? like in a school or a work?

cause it could be peergardian blocking you
