I have reseeded for you.

[Chiselhead]

Thank you!  I see a couple of seeds out there now, but so far I have not been able to d/l.  I'll stay connected for as long as it takes.  BT is such a strange protocol, and I don't understand it - I seed things, but only seldom does anyone connect and take what I offer.  I wish I knew what goes on "under the hood" in BT.

Thanks again!

Yeah, it can be a bit hard to understand.

But connection issues are usually because of blocks.  Check your friewall, anti-virus, ad blockers, etc. aren't blocking connection.  Then try using a VPN, since you may be geo-blocked or ISP blocked.
It's really hard to pin down connection issues.  But you can only keep trying.  :/

I checked when I got home, and it had come through, so thanks again!  I'll keep seeding, though that's as hard to understand as downloading - some things I've seeded for ages, but nothing seems to upload.  Weird.

Also, I'm on a VPN, and nothing on my network is blocking it - just a strange protocol, I guess.

Similarly,  the blockage could come from the other end.  The seeders could be partially blocked.
Even VPNs block or can be blocked. 

All we can do is seed.  And unless someone else is looking for it, it won't upload to anyone.  Most lie dormant for ages and then when you're not looking you'll check the stats and find you've uploaded a few copies.

I set my ratio at 10.0 (or 1000%) and give away 10 full copies.  However, I'm an uploader, so that is usually gone in a few days.  And only reseed after that if I notice a reseed request.

This site, and the whole protocol can be very hit and miss.  It's best to just jump in when they're uploaded.
And, of course, upload yourself.
