when the circle on side of task turns black.....

does the black circle mean its dead? or did i not share enough stuff? i seed a lot of files and leave most of the finished tasks in que for lond time. am i doing something wrong here?

maybe its just my luck but i cant all of a sudden get anything exept one file to d/l.

it means that the task is stopped. you should enable the option in preferences to auto-resume tasks on startup BC and start all your task you want to download/upload.
