Isn’t a torrent just, like…directly sharing a file from your PC? What’s all this business about “seeding” and “leeching”?

It’s like if you had a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle but you had thousands of users each contributing a few pieces each. The torrent software pieces them together.
Even if you had only 20 people contributing, they each need only contribute 5 pieces on average. Compared to if you only had one seeder, then you might as well be downloading the entire file from them.
It can even sequentially request for piece 1 to 100, so let’s say you wna watch a movie WHILE it’s torrenting, well you can, provided the download speed is faster than your watching speed.
