creating and seeding a torrent and other guides by modtang
 
1. Before you start, go into Preferences > General Options.
 
2. Make sure the box that says Show dialog box when adding new torrents is checked. This means when you add a new torrent to uTorrent a box will pop up first to make sure you saving/seeding from the correct location (see step 5). Click OK.
 
3. When adding a torrent for seeding use the Add Torrent (no default save) option.
 
4. Choose the torrent file you want to oprn.
 
5. Now the window comes up. Check the Open for seeding box. You should also make sure the Save As location is correct. If you choose the actual folder the files are in you usually end up with the wrong location (see image below) so you need to choose the parent folder to get the correct location, otherwise uTorrent will try to download the files instead of seeding them.
 
6. Once your Save As location is correct you can click on OK. If you've done everything correctly your torrent should now be seeding. If it isn't, check to see you did Step 5 correctly.
