It's possible that some people who
think they are seeding, really aren't, most commonly due to NAT errrors.
If you're using Azureus, there should be two little green dots at the bottom of the main Azureus window.
If either of them is Yellow, possibly you should read this:
http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/index.php/NAT_problemIf you have a Linksys WRT54G router (very very common), you need to:
- Open up http://192.168.1.1/ in your browser. This takes you to the LinkSys setup page. By default there's no password, and you should really change that for security purposes, but that's not this issue at hand
- Click the 'Applications & Gaming' tab at the top of the screen
- Click 'Port Range Forward' (should already be selected)
You will enter in two lines of information.
First line:
- Application=Azureus; Start=62112; End=62112; Protocol = Both; Check 'Enable'
- Enter your local IP address. On Windows, open up a DOS prompt and type "ipconfig /all" to find out that that is
Second line:
- Application=Azureus; Start=6969; End=6969; Protocol = TCP; Check 'Enable'
- Enter your local IP address on this line as well (same as on the previous line)
Now go to Azureus, click "Tools -> NAT/Firewall test", and enter in port 62112
Click the 'Test' button and you should see "Testing port 62112 ... OK!"
Click the 'Apply' button
You now should, after about 30 seconds, see the Green button at the bottom of the Azureus window for "NAT OK / TCP"
Good luck!
