Queued Seeding, Red Seeding Bar, Number of Connections

I have noticed recently that after 48+ hours of running uTorrent many of the torrent status bars turn red. I read online what this means about the trackers not being able to connect. Restarting uTorrent fixed this issue. My question is do I need to be sure none of my status bars are red? I am assuming that red bars cannot seed properly so I need to be sure it is green.

When I restarted my uTorrent client about half of the seeding list status stayed at "queued seed". Will it start uploading and turn active if someone needs the files? What does it mean "active torrents". I had active torrents at 30 because 6 downloading and 10 or so uploading at a single time meant 16 active torrents. Now it appears as though active torrent means anything in the list that is not in a queue even if there is no activity up or down on this torrent. My list is over 100.

I want to seed as many files as possible to keep a good ratio. I have the cheap run of the mill DSL with a 2Wire modem/router. I don't know much about connections or how to tell how many I can have on the router or ISP. Do I have a limit to how many active torrents I can have? I changed it from 30 to 200 in uTorrent. For basic broadband users what is an average number or atleast a guess of how many torrents we can seed?

ConsiderPhlebas:
I run Azureus so I dodge the utorrent-specific questions, but I'm pretty sure about one thing: The number of simultaneous peer connections is a much more interesting number for your router and network stability than the amount of simultaneously active torrents. I've rather randomly set at most 250 connections globally and at most 30 per torrent (as well as capping DL and UL to numbers a bit lower than the maximum speeds possible), and it's behaving good (I'm at 30/12 Mbit/sec VDSL). If your network isn't working very well, you might want to put in a lower number.

Freedom Kira:
Red status bar can indicate any error message. You need to learn how to get to the actual tracker status message.

Restarting will usually, but not always, fix the issue.

Zoey:
I had global connections at 200 and per torrent 100. I'll lower these numbers a bit. Maybe it will help distribute my bandwidth.

The red status indicates "timed out" on my torrents, reconnecting in 3, 2, 1 and still timed out.

Bozobub:
It's a good idea to set global and per-torrent maximum connections to the same value; if you're only running one torrent, this will let that torrent still use all available connections...
