When seeding a file. Let's say a movie, and all I see are a lot of connections where others try to download that movie. However, they remain at 0% and never download anything.

Almost feels like its something watching, logging connections to everyone connected to that torrent. Just a theory.. No idea. (Privacy conscious)

Maybe someone can shed some light?

Fyi, it's "their client" not "there client".

"Their" means an individual or group of individuals owns something.

"There" is referring to a place.

I'm not trying to be pedantic with this comment, based on your server I'm assuming English is a second language and wanted to help
