Hey. I am currently downloading a file I already have. And it says 0.00bs upload speed. Is it seeding, or what?

Not unless it says "Seeding" and you're connectable (Green light in most clients). What torrent is it?

Well, it isn't exactly a tasvideo torrent I want to seed. It's a torrent file I created. It said to start seeding the file so others can download it.

Well, if you are seeding it and you are indicated a 0 kbps upload speed, there are three choices: ― Nobody wants to download it ― can't help it ― Nobody who wants to download it knows about it ― you created the torrent yourself and you haven't publicized your torrent file (such as by uploading it to ThePirateBay or somewhere else) ― Your Internet connection cannot upload due to nazi firewall settings either by a misguided ISP or a misconfigured hardware of yours

There are some people out there who requested a high quality download. I will get the urls to them. I have publicized it. I have it on Mininova.org. I don't have a firewall set up, and uTorrent said something about port forwarding. I am probably not going to try that because if I screw up, my parents would kill me.(almost literally.) I will keep trying, but I think a rapidshare or mediafire upload would work better.

You port-forward by logging into your router, and no you won't kill your Internet connection just by port-forwarding.

But to connect uTorrent to a port for forwarding. Does that require anything? I have looked at PFConfig, but I can't buy it. It forwards the port to uTorrent.

Okay, press WinKey+R and type "cmd" without quotation marks and then press Enter. Then type "ipconfig" in the Command Prompt without quotation marks and press Enter. Then look at the Default Gateway (probably something like "192.168.0.1"); this is your router's IP address. Open your favorite Web browser and type "http://Router's IP Address/" without quotation marks, and replacing the italics with the actual IP address, and press Enter. You should see a message with the model name of the router; Google Model Name "default password" (with the quotation marks), try out what you find, and if that doesn't work you can try to reset the router, though that might not be a smart idea if your family is on the Internet all of the time. If you can log in, you should find a menu that allows you to set up port-forwarding; this means that when an external entity requests something from a certain port on your router (where the external IP address visible to the Internet is), that request is forwarded to a port on your local computer (which has a private IP address mapped by the router via Network Address Translation, a.k.a. NAT). Port forwarding allows outsiders to have direct access to particular services on your computer, so you should only forward ports as needed.
