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.

Well lets say there is one seeder and 40 people downloading.
This would mean in order for all 40 people to download with lets say 100mb/s the seeder should have a 40000mb/s upload.
But if you have 100 seeders with 40 downloaders.
Each seeder would only have to have a 40mb/s upload speed.
So in case there is one seeder and one downloader your theory can be correct if the seeder has an upload speed equal or higher than the download speed of the downloader.
