I was curious how torrents are added to the "Seed Wanted Torrent" list.  It looks like the Requests forum is for torrents/files that aren't available already so that doesn't seem to be the right place to ask.  Is it automated?  The site software detects that N number of clients want to download a torrent but there are no seeders currently for that torrent so the software adds that torrent to the list?

I do believe it is automated. I don't know much about torrents, but it seems that when there are no seeders for a particular file, it announces it to the tracker, which automatically updates it here. Once in a while we don't have any seed-wanted torrents, and I have to tell you the site looks much different when we don't. 

So there you have it, an embellishment on what you already said.

I often wonder when it says "seeds 0(1) how it knows that the seed(s) are there as they are not connected otherwise, (presumably) you would be downloading.
I had one file where it showed 0(1) for around a week and then it started - seeds 1(1).
maybe they are just busy but connected.
Ah, the wonders of computers.
Much to complicated for me.

Computers have not made my life any simpler. They're fun, but we all know what happens when you have too much of a good thing.
