Re: Need help getting first upload to work!!!!! HELP!!!!!

"Initial seeding" is the same thing as "super seeding".

When that mode is enabled, your torrent client will give preference to others in the swarm who have given pieces of data to other users. Basically, it makes pieces available to downloaders if they are sharing with other downloaders. The idea is to decrease the likelihood of you having to hand out the same pieces to multiple leechers, thereby speeding up the process of seeding out to the swarm.

You don't need to enable that mode, and you don't need to turn it off if another seeder joins in. You can leave it alone if you like.
