Seeding and Leeching
« on: March 11, 2009, 04:08:33 pm »
A quick intro to the world of torrents.
You can use programs such as utorrent or bitcomet to download torrent files.
When you download a file you become a peer i.e. a downloader.
A person who has downloaded the file but is helping you download it (uploading to you) is a seeder.
A leecher is a peer who simply downloads a file but does not seed it.

To seed a file just download it and then DONT close the torrent program or cancel the file.
The higher the seeders and the lower the leechers the better.
This is çoz you will be able to download it faster.

So when you download a file make sure you seed it. REMEMBER seeders are good and leechers are bad

So be a good person and seed every file you download and help everyone else in the process!!
