[SOLVED] v 1.91 - how to get it to seed on private trackers?

Post by ciara »

I searched the forums and faq's and didnt find anything relavent to this version. If its duplicate - please point me to the thread... thanks :)
i have not noticed if this was an issue in the past - because frankly i wasnt required to seed where i was dl'ing from before. but now i am in order to continue using a service.

i have gone in to prefs and checked these areas
transfers : management
seed ratio 1.00
seeding w/ max of txfrs: 10

bandwidth
global - not checked
upload rate - not checked

speed limit mode (10 k for each - not enabled)

no schedule checked

network
port is there and closed
randomize not checked
auto map port checked
proxy not checked
prevent sleep checked

However, while i expect it to seed up to the max of returning 1 copy of the file being dl, it doesn't -- after it completes the dl - (during which ul is listed as 0 k) it either sits waiting to seed, or at 0 of 0 seeding status.


any ideas how i can turn seeding on... i assume i am just missing a setting or something - but i have checked every screen in prefs...

thanks

What's happened is you're new to private trackers and have picked torrents that have far more seeders than downloaders, Transmission isn't seeding because there's nobody out there to seed to.
