Will seeding the same torrent with two different clients mess anything up?

I should have given more details from the get-go, I forgot how helpful people are here.

No throttling from our ISP, and we live in a small town and get our internet connection from some dude who sells his wireless so we are likely on the same router etc.  And I set up his torrent client (utorrent) for him with the same settings. I have been trying to tweak my settings for a couple of months to match his speeds but no luck, that's why I decided it must be the number of torrents so I wanted to try one client for music and another for anime. Perhaps I should spend more time on Google/utorrent forums to see how to optimise utorrent for seeding....there are a wide variety of suggestions to be found, including some here. I'll start with the connections - I probably have them set too high  :o  I'll make an edit if anything in particular helps, I know seeding issues have been already been addressed extensively here.

Well from what I hear uTorrent is kind of a shitty client nowadays anyways so moving to Deluge isn't really a bad call. Overall rTorrent/ruTorrent is better for long term seeding. Deluge is best for burst seeding. It's a very aggressive seeder but doesn't perform as good with large swarms (e.g. if you have more than a few hundred torrents), which rTorrent excels at.

edit: Oh and uh, it could be what you're seeding. You could be seeding stuff people generally don't want and there are a lot of seeders for while your friend may be seeding popular stuff.

rtorrent, you say? I might as well check it out, seeing that I am already playing around with torrent clients. So far utorrent has more advanced options but lacks an easy way to relocate completed media after it has finished, and the new release (3.3) is quite buggy with its force rechecking (and of course all that bloatware). Deluge seems like a more basic client from what I can tell but with fewer options for configuration. I have the basics down as far as factors that affect seeding (and yes, there are many, not all of which I control!) but I have been obsessed with this for a while now ;) Wish me luck and as ever, I appreciate the feedback and suggestions.

EDIT - this sounds cheesy but I am honestly touched by the friendliness and help here, and I happen (for once) to have a few extra bucks..I've never donated before....but it looks like donations are closed this month?

They close when they reach the required amount of donations to keep the servers running, and since people are pretty generous here, you'll have to be quick.

My paypal account's always open. ;) lol kidding.

There's actually a thread here with a big debate about what the best torrent client is, you may wanna check it out: http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=8245.0

Just keep in mind it's from 2007 and some things may no longer relevant (like uTorrent not sucking).
