HELP!!! w/u torrent

Happy Holidays everyone... I downloaded my first show last night using u torrent. The transfer was successful - no problems - I'm currently downloading my second as I write this. The problem I believe I'm having is seeding.(giving back) My status bar says that I am seeding - the arrow indicator however, is red which I think is a problem considering this transfer was done yesterday.(does it normaly take this long to seed?) I really don't to get banned for not following the rules... If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance...
P.S. - I haven't closed u torrent since I installed it yesterday...

    Seeding only occurs when other people are downloading the same file you are. If no one is downloading, then that file remains inactive until someone else chooses to download it. If you want to keep your ratio up, your best bet is to download a newer show as soon as it becomes available, you will most likely seed three to four times the amount you downloaded.

    Hi Jay,

    The red arrow usually indicates an error with the tracker, or at least with the connection. You should report the error from uTorrent. Select your torrent, on the bottom, click on the "Trackers" tab, and see if there is an error under "Status". This could help to point to a specific problem. Comment from ShamikRocks still stands, you wont share until someone actually decides to get the files you are sharing, which for an older show might take a while... But be patient, the more show you have to share, the more likely people are to get them from you.
