Eli5 What does seeding a torrent mean?
In: Other
Seeding means that you are hosting the torrent for others to download
A torrent is a peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing mechanism where people host files on their own computer and other people who need those files connect to the host computer to download them
The computers downloading the files are called leechers, while those hosting are called seeders. Often while downloading the files, you are also uploading the content that has been downloaded to other leechers
