Thank you for responding and offering suggestions.

I've changed preferences to Max simultaneous downloads=4 and Max active torrents =6. The status is still "queued".

I am not seeding or leeching anything else..... wanted to get this one working before taking on another.

I tried (temporarily) disabling the firewall on my Mac, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

I also tried to "force" it to upload, but then it went down to 0 seeds.

Reading the FAQ it sounds like the upload should automatically happen, but I left it open for hours after the download and it never moved out of 'queued'.
