Explanation:
Firstly,
SEEDERS: The one who uploads the file to the torrent site.
LEECHERS: The one who downloads file from the torrent site.
If someone uploaded a torrent to a site with the seeds at 100kbps and if there are 10 leechers then each leecher is approximately getting the file at 10kbps.
After each 10 people finish downloading the torrent from the uploader and are seeding at a speed of 100kbps.
Then the total speed of the torrent after the 10 get done downloading and seeding the file is 1100kbps. Because 10 are seeding at 100kbps and the original uploader is seeding at 100kbps.
Now if there are 11 more leechers getting the file then each of those leechers are approximately getting the file at 100kbps instead of 10kbps because there is a 1 to 1 ratio per seeder & leecher.
So if everyone just downloaded the file and stopped without seeding the torrent 1:1 then the speed of the torrent will hardly go up because the leechers will always more in number then the seeder.
The more seeders there are on a torrent the faster the torrent is.
The downloading of the torrent is not from the actual site. You are downloading it off another user that has it on their computer.
Thus it is important to seed back what you take. That is called FILE SHARING.
Seeding is the process of connecting to a torrent when you have a complete file.
