Search results and seeding
-
Yellow! I just need help from the experts. I tried downloading a torrent file that has the most number of seeders (based on the filtering thing of GT). But when I check on U Torrent - it's not moving at all - still at zero 0%. Tried it with several torrent files, still the same.
And the previously downloaded file that I have is not seeding at all.
I don't have issues with my internet connection... I'm just totally clueless if I'm missing something or what not...

@sirronkcaj One of the things to check is if you have forwarded your ports.
Start at https://portforward.com/
Be sure to make a note of what you did, in case you need further help.
Edit: @bi4smooth has an excellent point below - you do need Leechers to grab what you are sharing. If a Seeder/Leecher number is showing something like 2/70 that is a lot of opportunity to help share what you got from the seeders.
Also, don't give up on what you have already, as you get a bonus of one Seed Bonus Point (SBP) every two hours you are seeding even when there are no leechers.

Many torrents that are heavily seeded are "saturated" - that is, there are tons of seeders, but few leechers.
To get upload credits (not points), you need to be seeding torrents that people are actually downloading!
But keep seeding those "dying" (leecher-less) files! You get POINTS just for making them available.. 600 points = 10 GB of upload credit!
Look at some of the NEWEST posts - they typically get the most action!
