Tracker sees me as a Seed, but I'm not seeding

[annajoy]

I read the FAQ's and spoke with lynn even she is stumped...I'm on windows xp pc...she says the files are some how locked and thats why I can't share them...I have no idea how to unlock them or what to do...I turned off my firewall and reconfiged everything...I can even download files from ttd with no probs...its seeding this file that seems to be the problem...any ideas...thanks...:wtf:

ps. here's the torrent (http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=16599)

When you say the files are locked, do you mean "Read-only"?

If so, then to change them, in expolorer, right click the file, and at the bottom in "Attributes", uncheck the "Read-only" box, click on apply and then ok. Repeat for other files.

Not sure how else they would be "locked".

Well, I'm not sure exactly what is up, but it's like for some reason, her computer is unwilling to share the files. She is seen as a seed by the tracker, but not by anyone connected to the torrent. She can download and share other files from her computer, but these are ones that she took from a CDR herself and then created a torrent from. It's like she might have done something to the files when she converted to flac that somehow won't let her share them? I really don't know. I tried everything I could think of, but I'm not that familiar with Win XP and so I'm not sure of some of the little things that could have gone wrong during her process.

it's working fine, it's just that 80% of the leechers are firewalled. that's going to be painfully slow.
