Nope, that means that, at that point, there was only 1 person with the
complete file (me) and 24 people with partial downloads - everyone
uploads and downloads bits from each other though, it doesn't have to
wait till the file is completed or anything. Eg now, there are currently
14 complete copies available and 2 people downloading with incomplete
copies.

I don't know about that :/ Are you behind a NAT'd connection and if so
do you have the port range 6881 through to 6999 forwarded to the machine
running BitTorrent?
