Check in settings. Do you have it set to upload only 1 or 2 copies?

I can't find this in the options menu, I have version 1.5.....

Most trackers go after stable peers. If you shut down and start up often, you will be considered unstable. If both you and someone else have the needed pieces - the tracker will go to the more stable of the two of you.

I did not know this,....We had some electrical storms and my computer shut down 3 times in 2 hours, and I kept trying to re-start it right away and it would start the d/l right away, but wouldn't upload at all...That stability thing must have been the reason because it is working fine now...

Thanks...

Good Settings for µTorrent*:

Is there a reason not to enable DHT? (first pic)

DHT allows Ghost leeching. On a private tracker - ghost leeching is frowned upon. Also, there seems to be some debate over whether that upload counts.

 

the only thing i would say is you should have less upload spots. most people dont have the nice fast bandwidth theresa has so 5 is a bit much for 36kb of speed if used to the max. i generally recommend a max of 4... and setting it to 50% while its downloading and 100% when its finished. some clients have that option - not sure if utorrent does.

Yes µTorrent has that option Kelly - look at the last pic I posted.

 

ah so it does i like setting it pretty low upload when i'm downloading cause i can get it faster - and i keep it "unlocked" so i can watch as i continue to share later heh

I have my pathetic DSL set at 25 kB/s when D/ling and 45 kB/s when U/ling....

Some torrents are seem to work now but some aren't. I downloaded some movies from ADC (Asian DVD Club) and I was wondering because the files are new and and have seeders....any idea? This is just a sample of what happened. When I downloaded this file at d-addicts, it has like 5 seeders or something! I'm really confused now Here's the screen shot:

You don't have enough space on hdd...see status : There is no space available....That is why you have red sign!!!Version of your torrent is less important

Karma for noticing that!!

I can't believe they did it. Those freakin' nerds blew up the BuyMore.
