Bittorrent - Keep Dropping Leechers

Post by **desert_rat** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 5:53 pm

I posted this question over at metfuk as well, but wanted to see if anyone here could help me out....

I'm seeding the 11-08-86 audio over at metfuk, and there are currently 5 leechers. However, about every 10 minutes or so I lose the leechers and there is no upload activity. I then have click on manual announce or update tracker and it starts to seed again for about 10 minutes. I've had this happen using Azureus and bittornado clients.

Has anyone seen this, or know how to fix this. Typically I have just been able to set it and forget it. I really don't want to sit here all day clicking a button to make sure the seed continues...

Anyone....?

Have you got a NAT problem?

Not sure - how would I tell if I have a NAT problem?

which torrent software are you using? Recommend uTorrent. Not sure if yo'u're behind a router, if so, do you any ports forwarded to your internal IP or at least UPnP enabled in your client which will automap any available ports. Never heard of the torrent speeds just droping off and leechers being disconnected.

If your running azereus down the bottom where there is 3 green lights, highlight the middle one with the mouse and it should say your NAT is ok or else there is a reachibility problem. reachibility is bad!

I had a similar problem with uTorrent, while I seeded the Perth '93 2-DVD over @ MetFuk about two weeks ago. Turned out that for some reason I had the "Seed Initially" (or something like that) option enabled for some reason.....and after I turned that off....all worked fine

it seemed that with this option enabled, I stopped seeding after so many minutes, or maybe after so many data was uploaded or something...although the leechers remained connecte...I wasn't uploading anything to 'em.

Mayby you could check wether you have something like that enabled in the torrent specific settings.
