If your global upload setting is fine and your torrent upload settings are OK.... try right-clicking on each torrent and issue a "Update Tracker" a couple times. Look at the General tab and watch it reset. Maybe that'll help.

Super seeding = fair seeding, or somting like that. It is a mode then you pritoritise peaple that have high share ration. (my english suck at the moment). this mode is realy useful if you are only uploading and it leaves the leachers behind (peaple with more or less none in upload speed)

Cool. So that's what it does... Thanks for that. I gotta try that out with my torrents

Hehe never really paid much attention to the Initial Seeding(uTorrent) as I thought only good if you are the ONLY Seeder... but I guess if you are just seeding it is helpful, shall start doing that from now on as I generally just seed opposed to download.
EDIT: taken from uTorrents site,
"Does �Torrent support Super Seeding mode?

Yes, it does. Double click on the torrent and check the Initial Seeding box to turn it on. For an explanation of what Super Seeding is, read this page
Please note that Super Seeding should ONLY be used if you are the -ONLY- seeder in the swarm, with no exceptions. It is also only effective with at least 2 peers in the swarm, and should generally not be used when you have high upload speeds."

So.. is it still recommended to use if you aren't the only seeder? (FYI: 60kbps upload)

Yeah. I guess, with that speed. I can only get up to... I think about 30kbps upload. I don't know why. My download is about 60kbps (I have 2GB)

Now I use Bitcomet i thinks it's so nice and easy to use a configure it.
But i don't know if this is the best choice to use.

If you try this while other seeders are on then you're more than likely to see a 0kb/s upload speed. uTorrent changed the name form Super to Initial so not to confuse people. This should only be enabled if you are the initial (first) seeder and once a completed copy is sent you need to turn it off.

When it says high speeds it pretty much depends on the size of the torrent. Since without Initial Seeding you're more than likely to have a 1.5 ratio before a full copy is sent out, so if it's a small torrent that you can get out fast regardless then it's not necessary. With I.S. you're doing a 1:1 ratio till a full copy is out but you're really relying on others to re-distribute those pieces (cough - damn you BitComet - cough)

[SacredCultivator]

Yeah I figured as yup for uTorrent it is Initial Seeder.

I was only wondering as I don't use it at all.

[NatsuNoCheri]

I use uTorrent...it works pretty well for me.

[yonasu]

I've tried many, but µTorrent seem to be the best for my computer! Minimum memory usage, easy to configure and use... Well, as good as it gets ^^

[LvB]

I've been using Bit Tornado for as long as I have been using Bit Torrent. But I might try some other programs. Bit Tornado takes up too much memory.. =\

[Danji]

I use uTorrent as well.

1) Simple setup.
2) Low memorry overhead.
3) All the options you'd ever REALLY need.
4) Fast as hell!
5) I can hide it away while it's seeding here at work.
