Re: Can't seed: torrent shows downloading not up

If it's trying to download, it's usually because you didn't do a recheck while stopped.

The process (some programs are smart enough to not need all steps):
1. Download your torrent file from the thread.
2. Load that file into your torrent program. Make sure it loads in the Stopped (or Paused) state (critical!).
3. Verify that your torrent data is in your download folder (or download temp folder if you are using that). Yes you seed from your download folder.
4. Right click and Recheck (sometimes called Force Recheck).
5. It should find your local data and checksum it to 100% (if not 100% something is amiss).
6. Right click and Start (or Resume) the torrent.
