Torrents not seeding once downloaded
-
OK, so I have on my uTorrent ~400 files that I potentially could have up for seeding. I don't have a great connection and have to share it, so I set my computer up to seed at night when I can. For some reason, recently, I can leave my client open and seeding for hours, but when I check my traffic I've only seeded ~90 MB. What gives? I have a TON of files, many of them on the top lists, it seems like I should be getting a LOT more traffic than I am. I'm keeping my ratio high by donating, but with the new BitCoin fiasco that probably won't continue. (Spent 3 hours today trying to set up an account with the people you guys have listed, never once got an email from the companies about the accounts or the Bitinstant things. Frustrating as fuck.) HELP! I'm really trying to be a good community member here.
FYI:
Downloads work fine
Bandwidth and connectivity tests show all green. -
I am not sure to which top list you refer, but if it was the "Most wanted" list on the home page, those torrents are usually not helpful to improve share ratio. This is because the moment the torrents appear there, they are already the most leeched and will become the most seed soon. Then they stay for longer than average torrents being well seed. That list should be rather labelled "Most popular".
The list of your sharing torrents shows largely zero leecher and that explains why there is no upload …
If you don't get a e-mail from the bitcoin exchanges, you should check your spam. In gmail it can be hidden under "More ..." or "Others ...".
Coinbase got clearly an as being working feedback on the Gay-Torrents.net donations run topic (though the process start to end takes a week for the first exchange with account creation, confirmation and funding). Mt.Gox e-mail was received nearly instantly by me …
I wouldn't qualify bitcoins a "Fiasco". It is something new, needing efforts to lean about it and therefore taking up slowly, but steadily. It is important not to rely on Paypal ...

OK, so how do you suggest I improve my ratio without donating and without being able to download the "Most Wanted" or new torrents, since my ratio is boned again?
Also, checked my spam folder (before I posted) and nothing from MtGox. I did figure out the issue with BitInstant. They have a minimum transaction which I was under.

Without donation and new downloads, you should try to seed what you've got. When I've made my previous answer, I had promoted some torrents you were the only seed, that should saturate your internet connection for some time. BTW, two of them got now many leecher but are not seed …
Other options are:
- Vote categories, you have downloaded many torrents and that should bring you quite a number of SBP. It takes some time though.
- Upload pictures to descriptions with less than 10 pictures, yet.
- Upload an own torrent for something still missing here
