I uploaded some of my torrents to some sites, and none of them will seed. My ports are ok. I seed off normal downloads, I just can't with my uploaded torrents. Any help on how to get my torrents to seed would be much appreciated.

Hmmm... Are there any leechers? and did you download the .torrent file from the website after uploading it?

No leechers. I downloaded it, but it doesn't do anything. It just stays there.

What client are you using? Also if there arent any leechers it wont upload or do anything. If your using utorrent it shoudl do a hash check then say 100% and in the status column it will read seeding.

So when there's a leecher, it will just switch to seeding? uTorrent right now says downloading at 0.0%. That'll change when someone downloads my file?

nope. It hasnt done a hash check. Right click on the torrent, go to advanced, change file location, navigate to the file hit ok and then right click on the torrent again and go force re-check. It should say checking and after reaching 100% should change to seeding.

You should allocate it to teh same exact directory, where the filez at. Make sure teh names ot teh folders are identical. Check if you not have 2 folder (one with actual files and second that was created, when you tried to dl it from tracker right now ;))
Then dl torrent again and set it up the way it goes in the one with files, then you should see hash check going on and when it hits 100% - 1 leecher/0seeders. Thats about it.

Maybe providing a link to the torrent you uploaded so someone one else can help you test it would also be a good idea, but that is only if the tracker you uploaded to allows it.

If you don't want to do it in a public forum then have someone you trust on here test it out for you through PM.
