I understand the basic concept that torrenting means transferring files to and from host computers (seeds) and recipient computers (peers) in small chunks. What I don’t understand is what would make this process faster between many seed computers as opposed to just one computer transferring it’s complete file to another computer.

I need a book. I know of a system where people have the books in their computers, so you can ask them for a specific page and they’ll send it to you. The system works by your computer asking “hey, I need the page 1”, the other computer says “ok, I’m sending page 1”, then after receiving it your machine would reply “Ok, I received page 1”, and repeat for each page.
Now, the system limits you how many pages can you ask to a specific individual. But, nothing stops you from asking multiple people for different pages at the same time.
