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?

    I had them, they’re usually gone if you turn on encryption. They’re all using the same outdated client, right?

      on some places everyone including the active seeders have utorrent 2.2.1 (or something similar) so you’ll be missing out sadly.
