Hello everyone. When I look at seeding it's always at zero. I realize some of my files aren't in high demand, but certain files like TV shows which just happened earlier the day are having zero uploads for a long time. The torrents show leechers, which I thought was people who are downloading but only have part of the file, so I thought they would be looking to add more seeders.

But I can leave it on for days, and check it a few times an hour for 12+ hours a day, and sometimes at odd hours which are nighttime for me but daytime for people downloading in other parts of the world, and still after 3 days or 5 days of seeing zero uploads, I wonder if something is wrong.

If this is how it is, would it be good "sportsmanship" for lack of a proper word, to keep it open as much as I can when my computer is on?

Thanks for any tips, so I can be a good member of the community.
