**I have created a torrent, placed it in the seed area and have the two horizontal blue bars. However, I don’t seem to be going anywhere with it!! Nothing is happening seed wise and I can’t figure out what I have missed - any help??? **
The torrent needs a tracker. You needed to specify the url for the tracker when you created the torrent. Then you need to upload the torrent file to the tracker site, so that it is registered there. Then, other people find and download that torrent, and start leeching. Only then will you see any upload activity.
