I have a few torrents, that could 100%, because every once in a while someone with 100% comes online, but never long enough to actually download the whole file. So it's a slow grind, grabbing a couple percent every few days. Then for days, I'm just sharing, until mysterious guy comes online again to send me another couple chunks.

Is their client really only online so briefly? Am I doing something wrong?

Using Transmission 4.10beta running 24/7, port forwarding is active, but I'm only using public trackers. Haven't figured out the deal of private trackers and whether that's even worth it for Foss software.
