Not getting any leechers when I seed, even though there are many?

I just don't want to be held responsible for getting a thread locked before the OP confirms that his issue is resolved. Topics on this particular board are not "conversations," but a means for people to ask for help. You can post "conversation" threads in other boards, just not on the help board.

If you think you can convince anyone that "how do you organize your files" has anything to do with "help, I can't connect to leechers when I'm seeding," please do enlighten me. Otherwise, no, that is not what this thread is about, and discussing that will eventually cause a lock. Here are three different topics that are related to what you asked about; take your questions there.

OK I felt a friendly vibe when you were discussing ISPs in Canada, guess I misread that as a conversation. Consider myself scolded. The renaming has to do with seeding because I querying how to seed renamed files. I am trying to seed renamed and relocated files, and like the original poster, I have many leechers for these files but I am not actually seeding. My train of thought is admittedly more abstract but that was the connection in my mind.
I posted a link from lifehacker in another discussion that addresses this issue in part: http://lifehacker.com/5612315/how-to-seed-moved-or-renamed-files-in-bittorrent
I hope it helps someone as it did me.

I actually struggle as well getting upload when I am only seeding a small amount of files. I would suggest what Bobobub said and seed  around 20 torrents. I am currently only seeding 10 because I am having HDD capacity issues, but around 15, from experience, seems to be a good optimal number to be seeding at.

Yeah, that was kinda off topic. =/ I only intended that to be a quick aside. I hope you are not mistaking trying to stick to the rules with unfriendliness though.

Not completely offtopic, but in response to what was stated earlier, my Verizon Fios upload rate should around 5mbps yet I only max out around 500kbs at any given time. I know it does depend on how many peers are connected and I am sure my Bittorrent client is properly optimized. Is there anyway to optimize it further?

15 is not really an optimal number. Try around 150; the more you have going, the more leechers you will have access to and therefore the better your chances of making a connection. Play with the number of connections you allow your client to make, both per torrent and globally. More connections improve your performance but will bog down your connection, so you have to find a balance there.

Your upload speed as indicated by a Speedtest indicates 5Mbps?

Also, ensure that you are connectable by forwarding the proper ports. If you don't, other peers will not be able to make connections with you, and your seeding performance will thus be based entirely on your client's ability to establish connections with peers. Which isn't necessarily terrible, of course, but it will be limited to some extent.

^ How do you have the HDD for that? My current internal HDD is around 1TB and it's basically already full of games, documents, music, anime, movies, etc. I haven't figured out how to properly seed torrents once I move it (and I'm actually kind of lazy to learn) so instead of spending the trouble, I copy downloaded anime over to an external HDD (also 1TB) in which I can rename/organize it. The external is also pretty much about to hit full capacity. The anime that was downloaded and still in my internal stays to be seeded. I have only downloaded 720p/1080p anime so averaging 5GB per anime. That is 750GB of space for 150 torrents of anime series averaging 5GB each which is space I currently do not have to spare.
