I keep seeing in forums and sites like these that say it’s frowned upon to not seed torrents that you use/used. I saw a post on here or Reddit (I don’t remember) with a guy ecstatic that someone started seeding his download he had been trying to get done for months. I know seeding lets someone download something using your computer but how is it helpful if someone doesn’t have a site and/or isn’t “in-range” ?

If you can’t tell, I don’t know much about how torrenting works other than how to download something using one. I hope that you all can just explain or point me in the right direction because I would like to support the community.

      How much you’ve downloaded compared to how much you’ve uploaded. If it’s equal, it’s 1.0. If you’ve uploaded twice as much as you’ve downloaded, it’s 2.0.

        I don’t know how to create them, just share them. Is there anyway I could find out how to create a torrent file?
