My newly uploaded 1 gig torrent has 28 seeders before I uploaded 500 MB
-
Specifically I am referring to https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=aef7057686aeb35d70ac6cda5479af488351774591825505
which admittedly I grabbed from another site. Is it logical to assume the other seeders also grabbed it from the same site and proceeded to seed it, possibly in a more attractive way than me? I cannot imagine I created even one seeder without uploading more than the original file size.
It is somewhat frustrating to go through all the trouble of creating a new torrent and have others latch on for free. -
It would appar that with this torrent, that is exactly what happened. There appear to be a few users who jumped on straight at the seeding process. For this reason, I will throw you some SBP to help offset that.

Thank You! Greatly appreciated. I still wonder why these other seeders were more attractive than me; perhaps they were using seedboxes. I have a highspeed cable connection and I usually max out at 1.3MB/s upload speed. I was watching the seeding process and although I was connected to about 10 peers, I was only uploading to one at about 2K/sec.
Even to date, there are 51 seeders and I have uploaded only 800MB.

The order of preference depends on a few factors, one of which is the speed at which the peer is able to upload.
With our tracker, another HUGE factor is having your port forwarding setup. On most traditional internet connections, your modem will either be attached to a router or have a router built into it. This takes all of the IP addresses of the computers on your home network and masquerades them to a single IP address that their connection will use for the internet. The problem comes in whereas your router needs to know what port you are using for your torrent client, as well as the IP address of your computer on the home network in order to forward the connections to your torrent program properly. If you do not do this, with our tracker, it will become extremely difficult, but not impossible to get upload traffic, as this will bounce you to a very low node priority if it is not configured correctly.
I just thought I'd point that out. In my case, my network is a little more complex and advanced beyond the need for port forwarding (at least for my server and my laptop), because both of them are on their own dedicated IP address as far as the internet is concerned, but this is not the case with most users.
