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.

      You’re not wrong, but it bugs me when my ratio drops, so I always seed everything I download. I have a pretty good internet service though.

      I do exactly this, most of my seeds are either books or extremely esoteric films and TV.

      Speaking of which… anyone know where I can find the show “Kid Nation”?
