Default Utorrent : download complete, still downloading

I was downloading a file Using Utorrent.
The file had reached 100% an hour ago so i left Utorrent on to seed.
When I was monitoring my upload speed, I noticed that Utorrent says the file is still downloading at a speed of 0.3kb/sec. What could that be? why should it be downloading if the file is complete?

I've been using uTorrent for quite some time. I too noticed this with some completed files. I don't know if it's a bug or what but I'd say they already know about it. I have never really looked at a files d/l speed after completion but I know by glancing that this is definitely a fact. It definitely shouldn't be going that way though. It's like a false d/l(not completed) is still finishing its download. However, for the ones I have noticed doing this the files do still work so it has to be a bug in uTorrent. Thanks!

Well after looking at my Peer list I found that No peers are uploading to me, so actually nobody is uploading to me, even if Utorrent is saying its downloading, however in the peer list it shows that im not downloading off anybody, Thanks.

It's probably DHT traffic.

Anytime a peer connects, he is sent a miniscule amount of data during the handshake routine (and you'll see the Down Speed briefly flicker under the Peers tab); if you're trading a fat torrent with a giant swarm, people will be dropping and reconnecting all the time (*cough* BitComet *cough*), and those miniscule fractions will add enough enough to trip an actual number into appearing.
