Bittorrent won't upload

I get good download speeds.  I never upload anything, which defeats some of the purpose (file SHARING).  I don't know why.  I've tried adding a port forwarding as some of the threads I've read seem to suggest, but right now I am connected to 20 or 30 seeds and 0 peers, out of 300 connected peers.

I'm running Windows 10, Bittorrent 7.10.3.  Connected to PIA via various servers including AU and CA, as well as some random others when speeds were slow, it's been the same all along.  I don't upload.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Please be clear.  I am computer conversant, not computer brilliant.

  • So interestingly enough, I had updated my PIA this morning, chosen CA Toronto as one of the sites with Port Forwarding, and entered the given port into my BT Connections.  It hadn't seemed to make any difference but in the last fifteen minutes or so, since I posted my question, my uploads have increased to 4 with upload speeds between 50 and 120 Kbps and now seem to be continuing to increase.  So maybe the problem isn't a problem anymore but just takes time to shake itself out after the changes.
