Question

Does the seeding of a torrent use the internet?

Community Answer

Yes, seeding is torrent-terms for uploading. The more you seed, the smaller the likelihood will be of other people not being able to get the same torrent at a decent speed.

Question

Why should I keep seeding?

Community Answer

Torrenting works by downloading files from other users who have already downloaded those files. If nobody seeds the torrent after they have downloaded it, there will be nobody from which new downloaders can download the file. So seeding a torrent may not offer any benefit for you, but it is doing your bit for the ecosystem of torrents.

Question

How do I download movies through Torrents?

Blake Foster

Community Answer

Go to thepiratebay.se or Kickass Torrents, then search for the movie you want. You will have to have uTorrent or BitTorrent to download it on. Once you have found the movie you want to download, click on "Get Torrent". It should automatically redirect you to your Torrent client (uTorrent or BitTorrent). Then click download and wait for it to finish. You can play the movie through your Torrent client, or you can move the file to a location of your choice. Once you have moved it, you will not be able to seed the Torrent, so it's better not to move it. Be cautious when downloading movies off of these sites, because most of the movies on them have been pirated and are illegal.
