When you share the file it is referred to as seeding. When you are downloading the file it is referred to as leeching. Each bit torrent file will have a number representing how many people are seeding (seeds) and how many people are leaching (leechers). These numbers make up what is known as your share ratio. The higher the number of seeds compared to leechers the faster the download will be. Since bit torrent file sharing is a collective process that relies on people to make it work it is common courtesy to continue seeding after you have completed your download. Some bit torrent file sharing sites will require you to maintain a certain personal share ratio, while other seeders will refuse to seed to people who download and leave. After your download has completed all you need to do to keep on seeding is leave your bit torrent client running.
A bit torrent client is the software you need to download your bit torrent file sharing files. U torrent is the most popular bit torrent file sharing client out there. You can download it from Utorrent.com. All you need to do to find bit torrent file sharing files is to Google the title of what you are looking for and the word "torrent". Just like any download you will be responsible for downloading any copy written material so be careful.
So, at this point in the bit torrent file sharing guide, I have explained what bit torrent file sharing is, how bit torrent file sharing works, what bit torrent file sharing software you need and how to find bit torrent file sharing files. That covers everything for this bit torrent file sharing guide to bit torrent file sharing. Have fun with bit torrent file sharing.
