first time uploader

Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 10:15 am

I have made my first torrent (I think). Anyway it is posted for people to download but I think I need trackers or seeds and I am not sure if the torrent works at all, so if someone can fill me in on how to do this.

Thank you, next problem is I have no seeds for the torrent to download, I will see how they go reading what the infomation you gave me said it should just seed

generally you need to upload to a ratio of 5-10 to be sure your torrent survives, leave uTorrent open for a the duration of this, till you have lots of seeds then you can stop and let it work for its self.

also depends on how many are downloading. agree with mr gig, cool username. welcome to the hunt Wink

I do believe I have done something wrong, but I am at the cross roads, my torrent hasn't seemed to take off at all, I found trackers to add to it its just the seeding part that I have followed the step by step post that people have sent me and I am still missing something.

So thank you all for the help I will keep trying.

I tried it a thrid time by strating fresh it says its seeding but I the name of it is 'new folder' instead of MOS - S9 but anyway if it works it works if not I will have to try uploading something else

quick update, it is still uploading, utorrent came up with a warning when I went to shut it down telling me not to because it was still uploading a torrent

as already said, you can't shut down your utorrent as you are the only seed
I have them running and all say 0 seeds this end edited 1 now with 0 (1) seeds

does utorrent show any peers?

have a think about it but it may be better if I or another mod delete them so you can start again
because it's starting to looking a bit messy
