Symptoms
Cause
A finished torrent uploads data only to peers that are still downloading it. When most of the swarm already has the data, there is little left to send. A closed port prevents connections to peers that cannot accept incoming connections themselves.
Rtorrent 16 also stops seeding by rule. On Seeding & Retention, the rule for public torrents is on by default: a public torrent stops when its ratio reaches 2.0 or 7 days after it completed, whichever comes first. The rule for private torrents is off by default.
Each torrent uploads to at most 30 peers at once on the Public connection profile and 15 on the Private one, and all torrents together to at most 150. Upload speed is unlimited unless you set a limit or switch on Turtle mode.

Resolution
- Check the seeding rule. Open Seeding & Retention. Under Public torrents, Apply rule to public torrents is on, and the Public: apply action when row holds target ratio (%) 200, upload target (MiB) 0 and days since completion 7. Reaching any target triggers the action, and 0 turns that target off. To seed longer, raise the targets or turn the rule off, then press Review & save.
- Check who is requesting the torrent. In Quick access, point at the seeder figure of the row: the tooltip also names the connected leechers and the leechers the tracker reports. With few leechers, there is little to upload.
- Check the port. Open Network & NAT and press Check TCP port. The card should read IPv4 TCP port … open.
- Check the upload limit. At the top of Quick access, the line under Upload reads unlimited or limit …. On the Dashboard, Turtle mode should be off.
- To upload to more peers at once, open Settings → Connection profiles, press Custom… and raise upload in the Public profile: slots per torrent or Private profile: slots per torrent row. The total for all torrents is upload in the Global slots row of Settings → Bandwidth & limits, with Advanced on.
Notice & Advise
- A slot is a peer the torrent may upload to at this moment. More slots do not make a peer download faster.
- With Night mode set to Lowest upload, downloads go on, uploads run at 1 KB/s during the night.
