Hey, having some trouble, I uploaded a torrent to demonoid.com using uTorrent.

But there are no seeds? how do I seed after I upload them so other people can dl them?
 
A seed is a person/computer, other than yourself. You only get more seeds when people download it and leave it to "seed" which is uploading. When you upload a seed, you are automatically uploading it to other people from there it will escalate, or not if no-one is downloading it.

What do I do? It has 11 leechers and 0 seeders and it's been like that for about 4 days.

If you've uploaded the torrent file then anyone who downloads it from you will be a 'leecher' until the leechers have downloadedenough of the file to be able to seed it (when you upload a torrent, the original is broken into smaller manageable chunks that other users d/l). I think that's how it works anyway.

"Leechers" are downloaders, when their downloads complete, they will turn to Seeders (uploaders). Unless they turn "Seeding" off (thus becoming little bitches). Usually the first few people that download the item will leave it seeding for a while so it can build up a steady base of uploaders. What is the size of the file you are sharing? If it's a large file, and there is only you seeding it, it will take a long time for those people to download it, especially with 11 people uploading it from you, once a few people are seeding, it will be better.

Time to cut your losses or find the same content from a different torrent provider, hopefully with a better seed ratio

This is my understanding of it, I had S3 of the wire 94% d/L for ages but with no seeds eventually someone logged on with in as a seed but all the while I was seeding for every other leech, its just the way it works share and share alike, even though i do just delete the torrent as soon as I have d/l'd

Remove the one you uploaded before. Add the same one as a new name, get a friend or another of your computers to download it (one) sending it to one person will go faster than 11. Then get a group of friends to get it from each other one at a time, creating a platform for your torrent. That would work.
