Most of them had between 5-50 active seeders, the majority around 20.
I’ll wait and see. I’m in no rush anyways.
It could be that your torrent program is firewalled, and unable to fully connect to all sharing peers.
If you're using qBittorrent, to display the Status Bar, go to the menu item View > (check the box for) Status Bar
The Status Bar should appear a the bottom.
Just right of center, there should be an icon where if you hover your mouse over it, tells you your Connection Status, i.e. whether you're connected or firewalled.
Then that's probably okay. Is your DHT enabled?
Some trackers don't update seeder info on the web page. Another possible reason is you are behing cgnat and most (all) of the peers are behind it as well, so you just can't connect with each other.
Did you open your ports
Do you need open them? I'm using Deluge and it is able to leech and seed, only having to wait at most 1 minute for data to come through. I remember having problems with Transmission (the torrent client) though.
And I also imagine it's likely not an option to open ports, as most people are behind a CNAT (unless maybe the adoption of IPv6 by many ISPs (not mine) changed that?)
It can work but your will not connect to very many of the available seeds which is probably why op is sitting on 0% torrents with ~20 seeds.
Your client may also be configured to use upnp
