When seeding a file. Let’s say a movie, and all I see are a lot of connections where others try to download that movie. However, they remain at 0% and never download anything.

Almost feels like its something watching, logging connections to everyone connected to that torrent. Just a theory… No idea. (Privacy conscious)

Maybe someone can shed some light?

    I will often queue up multiple torrents but activate only one download at a time. Perhaps behavior like þis contributes to what you see?
