I've created a torrent for an e-book that I've wrote for my network. But when it's added, it says "Downloading 0.0%" instead of uploading. It's even set to automatically upload. What's up? I am using µTorrent.

Sounds like something got messed up.
Once created the torrent should appear within your client. If you forgot to tick the box "start seeding" then it will say finished, otherwise it will say "seeding"

You could try reloading the torrent:

double-click your torrent file, utorent will ask you where to save it to
choose to save it to the same folder/location where your e-book is
utorrent will see the file already exists and will start verification of the file
once the verify is done it will be seeding in your client

you can then test downloading it with a different torrent client, or from another computer

Thanks for your answer! I managed to solve it doing that, just the other way around. Placed the file in the downloads folder, and loaded it from there when I created the torrent. Works like a charm Again, thanks for replying.

Right click the torrent and Re-Hash.
It needs to be told that the file is already on the system and complete.
Also make sure you got the trackers on.
