Torrent Information
Torrent Information
Torrents work using a "Peer-to-Peer" system, where people who have already downloaded files upload (or seed) them for everyone else. This is what allows torrents to stay active and be downloaded by everyone.
Seeders/Leachers
Seeders are the computers that are currently uploading the files within a torrent. The more seeders, the better.
Leachers are the computers that are currently downloading the files within a torrent. The less leachers, the better.
As a rule of thumb, you want a torrent to have more seeders than leachers, this allows for faster downloading speeds.
When you finish downloading a torrent, you are able to continue seeding it for other people to enjoy.
If a torrent has no seeders, it will not be able to be downloaded, this is called "torrent death".
