Not getting any leechers when I seed, even though there are many?
Al_Sleeper:
You can store games, watched movies, etc. on an external HDD.
However, it is not recommended to use XHDD for seeding.
External HDD boxes with decent ventilation and USB 3.0 interface cost about 40€, and HDDs for them (WD 3TB) cost about 100€ apiece.

I do not try to advertize these particular models, they are just examples of what you can buy for the stated price.

The games I have are installed in my HDD from Steam. Even if I removed everything besides my games and anime, I still do not see any possible way for it to hold 150 torrents of 720p anime series. :x

I posted a link earlier in this discussion that describes a super easy way to reseed files that have been moved and renamed. Baisically in utorrent click on the file tab at the bottom then right click and relocate. Then you can rename the torrents and still seed them.
Thanks Freedom Kira, I will google more about forwarding ports and let you guys know if that makes a difference for seeding to more leechers.
As for Hard drives I just bought a Seagate 3TB for $120 online. Worth the investment especially for the files found here. It seems that most people who have good ratios are seeding a lot of files though, more than my meager 15 or so at any time. So indeed the number of torrents seems to be key.
Update: Freedom Kira you might be a genius. I followed the advice in this link http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/threads/47153-How-to-Settup-uTorrent-for-Seeding/page2 about ports and unchecking anything with DHT and peer on my torrent client and voila! Finally seeding. Coincidence?

That's not really my problem though since I cannot seed on external HDD anyways. I often unplug them and move my computer for class. Not that I would seed then anywho, I'm simply stating the inconvenience of using an external for seeding purposes.
pityrules:
What do you mean by you can't seed from a hard drive? It won't work at all, or it is too inconvenient because of needing to disconnect it frequently? I struggle with the latter, especially because I need to force recheck all the files if I don't stop them before disconnecting hard drive. I wonder if it be better to have a different bittorrent client for seeding than leeching? Then I could just close the seeding program before disconnecting my hard drive and not have to waste precious seeding time rechecking the files when I reconnect, and also I could configure one for optimal downloading and the other for optimal seeding. I am a bit like a monkey playing a piano in this discussion though as I only have a rudimentary understanding of how torrent clients work.
