How do I seed once I've downloaded?

After I've downloaded a show, I'm keeping Xtorrent open for at least 24 hours, and the status listed for the show is "sharing". However, it's like I'm getting no credit for seeding, because my ratio goes down every time. Is there something else I need to do in order to seed, or am I doing everything necessary? Thanks!!!!

    Just leave the torrent program open, and don't move the files.

    Ratio is affected by the amount people download from you, not by how much time you spend seeding. So if you seed for a week, but no one else downloads the show, your ratio won't improve.

    As to that 24 hour period, whether or not you get any hits during that time will be determined by the popularity (how many people are downloading) of the show.

    Thank you! That answers my question. Last question: If I close my computer or let it sleep, then get back on, will the torrent continue seeding where it left off as long as I keep it open?

    As long as the torrent program didn't close, it will pick up where it left off when your internet connection is restored. If it did/does close, just re-open the torrent program and it will pick up where it left off.
