Ah Ha!  Upload number now read "954.0" which is an increase.  Something must have happened and the meter is running again!  Thanks all.

Ran the test - got a GREEN check sign.

Cannonmc:  Many thanks for taking the time to respond to my message regarding upload credits.  It was especially helpful for you to point out the mathematical intricacies of the upload to download ratio.

At the end of your message, you commented, "if you say the actual figures of data transferred, rather than the ration, don't change, keep some notes."  So, I have done just that and I can report that, in fact, despite uploading about 1 GB today, my actual reported upload amount remained the same, "953.99".

leatherbear:  Your guidance and terrific advice related to the issue which I expressed about receiving upload credit was most helpful. It was especially informative to read your remarks about the importance of upload ratios and the high standards maintained on gaytorrents.ru.  Also, I am deeply grateful for your granting me 200 seed bonus points! 

Although I leave files to seed, and I see that I have sent back multiple gigabytes, I never seem to get credit for the amounts seeded on gaytorrent.ru.  Despite the fact that I am seeding quite a bit, my ration never changes.  I am using Utorrent 3.3.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
