How do I know if my trackers work and I am connected for upload?
-
So I have been reading alot of the forum posts about when you are downloading/leeching a file you upload at maximum speeds and once you completed your download the upload crashes to almost 0 activity. I have this exact same problem or at least I think so.
How do I know if I am having any problems with the trackers on this site? Is there a way someone can test for me? All my tracker status on uTorrent are 'working' and seeding status is green.
I have tried the network guide and it gives me all green ticks with very high upload speeds but yet I don't get much seeding. I would like to know if I am having any problems or if it is genuinely a 0 leech file which is why I have little to no upload.

That is typically not a problem of the tracker (you can connect to it and get the peer information and therefore the torrent is seeding and "green" working), but of other peers being unable to connect to your torrent client.
That is something you need to resolve at your side.
If you use µTorrent/BitTorrent, go to Options > Setup Guide and select the Network test only and run the test. It should return a green check mark sign if everything is OK, but my guess is it will show as yellow/orange. Thant means it isn't connectible from the outside.
Things to check and try:
Make sure UPnP and Windows firewall exception are enabled
Restart the client
Restart the computer
Restart the modem/router (the box from your ISP)Make sure your Internet Security Suite / Antivirus / Firewall got an exception to allow incoming connections on the port set in your clients connection settings.
Visity your torrent program's Help pages and forum for guides on how to make it connectible.

Thanks popper for replying.
Yes I am using uTorrent and I've tried the network tests, it returned with a green check. All my torrents are green seeding but not having much upload, but when I download a file, that file reaches a much higher and smoother uploading and then it crashes to little to zero activity once downloaded.
Would this mean that my ports are all opened correctly and users should be able to connect to my torrents without any problems? And that this actually means the files I have downloaded are just not high in leechers?
I am just trying to find out if my source of problems are not my client side. Thanks.

I'd then say yes, most likely the cause will be missing downloading peers.
