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.

Most home internet connections have much higher download speeds compared to their uploads. If you download a file directly from me it doesn’t matter if you’ve got 100Mb/s download capabilities, if I can only upload at 10Mb/s that’s all you’re going to get. However if 10 people can upload the file to you at 10Mb/s each, you can download at your full 100Mb/s speed.
