So for a long time, I was unaware that I was a leecher.

I don't really understand how things work - I'm kinda dumb - but torrenting is something I've always done. For years I've pirated audiobooks and then in an effort to save battery immediately closed uTorrent.

Fast forwards to today where now everytime I try to download a file it's undownloadable because of a low number of seeders. In researching why this happened I've learned that I was a filthy leecher for years without knowing it and now because of it uTorrent won't even download a file to then seed to fix my client so I can actually download anything.

How do I prove to my torrent client I've changed?
