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?

on some places everyone including the active seeders have utorrent 2.2.1 (or something similar) so you’ll be missing out sadly.
