Unsolved Upload Limit
-
Whenever I upload a new torrent, uTorrent only lets me upload a certain amount above the original torrent's size.
For example, my latest torrent is 1.2GB but it's stopped uploading at 1.82GB.
Is there a way to tell uTorrent that I'd like to upload this file indefinitely? I'd like to help more people access my smut and having it stop after a while kinda ruins it for everybody.
This might be the torrent if anyone is curious: link -
@pmrrk I use uTorrent and I don't notice a problem here. I don't think I fiddled with any of the default options/preferences, so that's probably not an issue here.
I looked at the torrent you linked, and right now it has about 25 seeders and 2 leechers. As far as the tracker software is concerned, you're on equal footing with the 24 other seeders of this material even though you were the original uploader. New people grabbing the torrent will still get your material even if it isn't directly downloaded from you.
Even if you don't get lots of upload volume from the torrent, you can take satisfaction in knowing that there are 50+ other members who have downloaded your stuff. They might not post a thank-you, but they do appreciate it.

@eobox91103 That's very kind, thank you!

@pmrrk Frankly, I've encountered the same thing once in awhile...I get to a point where uTorrent says I'm seeding but no data is going through after a certain limit.
It's likely because, once many others have snatched your torrent and are seeding, you may simply have a slower speed connection than they do, and so they become the primary seeders. I found this online:
Or you are a member of a private tracker with a ton of fast seeds (seedboxes etc) and the peers with a small connection meet difficulties to upload especially when the number of seeders per torrent is really huge in comparison with the number of leechers.
Basically, there's probably nothing you can do about this situation if enough others with better or faster connections are seeding. I think also especially if there are no leechers downloading (I've noticed this same thing also), then later on leechers hop onboard. You get "ignored" in favor of the people with better connections who are seeding.
