I went through the upload process and pressed the "do it!" button and it loaded to a white blank i waited nothing happened so i checked it if showed up on my profile it didn't. What happened? Did i do something wrong?

just posted my first torrent and it currently has to leachers and the upload speed is only 300-500kb's seems low. I'm using a vpn and my upload speeds are like 5mb's my client is set to unlimited, i have have port forwarding on. What else can i do?
