Created a Torrent now trying to seed
-
So I just uploaded my 1st torrent and followed the instructions, and I've been waiting awhile and it is fully green 100%, however there is nothing happening as I'm seeding. Is my bitTorrent set up wrong so that I cannot seed with other people? I've been able to download torrents but reseeding has been limited as well. Thanks.

Usual problem for a 1st time seeder is not downloading your own torrent.
So to start seeding you have to download the torrent you just uploaded, then open it in your torrent client. When it asks where to save you point it to the original file you made the torrent from (some clients say it will overwrite, it won't). Then the client will CHECK rather than download. Once checked it should start seeding.
And if this is your first time don't forget to claim your 600 bonus seed points

I just think it was the time of day and the day that it was uploaded. It now has been snatched over ten times.

Ok.
Now it says finished seeding and every time I click start to reseed it does so for a second and then stops and says finished again. I'm still thinking that my seeding isn't working and I want to help keep the torrent alive and get seed points.

On this end I show you are a seeder and are connectable.

My ratio has barely gone up, any tips? I'm just gonna keep trying to seed it.

The file was only 20 MB. Let's say you were the only first seeder, You were able to seed the 20MB to someone, now you have to compete with that seeder so the next person you might only seed 5MB too.
In reality you need 3 GB and uploading a 20 MB movie will not get you there or at least not very fast.
These forum post should help you.
How to earn Seed Bonus Points:
You best option is to continue seeding and also upload more new content. Also apply to FTUP to recieve 600 SBP then you can buy 10GB of upload traffic.

I have this error when I try to upload torrent. I don't know what to do? Can anyone help me pls?

Rubber, first don't :crazy2:
That looks like an error that I've seen with some versions of uTorrent. You don't say what you are using to create and post your torrent. Perhaps the staff here can help if it is QTM.
Otherwise my advice is to use a different program to create your torrent, an earlier version of uTorrent or something like maketorrent.
If you can give more information about exactly what you are doing it is easier too offer advice.
And the manual upload is not very difficult if you follow the instructions.
