Torrents only seeding after manual tracker update

I have a freshly installed rtorrent/rutorrent/libtorrent installation and everything works as it should. All software is of the latest version and I have reinstalled everything a few times and I get the same results, this is on Debian 7. The issue that I have is, when I download a torrent it completes fine and when it switches to seeding, it does not connect to any peers. However, the second I right-click the torrent and select "Update Tracker" it starts pulling peers and uploads as it should. This happens on all trackers and nothing I have tried so far seems to help the issue. If I let it sit, it will not pull any peers until the 30 minute timer on tracker updates runs down. So for some reason as the torrents are completing, it is not contacting the tracker and notifying that I am available for seeding. Any thoughts on this?
