Seeding help (UTorrent) settings

[BazReleef]

I've been here for quite a while, but my ratio sucks!
I guess i just don't understand the techie stuff.
When I download a torrent everything goes well, but when I'm done downloading and want to seed, peers disappear, the speed goes down, then I end up seeding to one person, then they drop off!
Can anyone help with my preferences? i have a MacbookPro with 10.8.2 on it running cable modem wifi.
Thanks!

First thing to ask is if you are trying to seed on a torrent that even has leechers. And, are you firewalled?

i've been having the same problems for a while now, d/l speeds are fine only u/l thats having issues...not firewalled, ports properly forwarded, plenty of leechers, d/l & u/l speeds are normal on bandwidth test sites...even tried a different bt client, same issue

when trying to seed it'll connect to a few leeches, u/l at .5kB/s for a few seconds then drops off to nothing, repeats a few mins later...after trying everything i know to try, i've given up and figure its my ISP [AT&T DSL]

First: found out if you are firewalled, visit this site: http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and fill in the portnumber your torrent client is using, make sure your client is running while doing this test.

not to hijack the OP's thread but i've got same issues...port can be seen, other details above

i'm completely at a loss at this point

Did you do a recent upgrade of uTorrent or other installation? If so try downgrading uTorrent. I know you told you tried a different BT client without results.

--no recent upgrades to utorrent
--switched to BitTorrent client, no change
--ran the glasnost test, doesn't appear that the ISP is throttling bt traffic
--reassigned my ports just now to see if that would help, so far no change
--also tried disabling PEX, no change
--also tried switching Outgoing Encryption between Enabled to Forced, no change


gonna try Transmission later this afternoon & see if there's a difference, but i doubt it

very perplexed at this point, and its killed my ratio at a few other sites

using Transmission did nothing...still plenty of seeds, yet intermittent minimal upload [39MB over 24hrs]

lots of googling, no answers tho
