Oh. Why is it always in the common redist? what does it do?

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

What are ratios?

Hey everyone! I saw the comments and they were all very helpful. I just had no idea how torrents worked lol. I will be sure to do my part and I hope anyone with similar curiosity can also benefit from this post! Feel free to say your piece but note that I get the gist of it now.

This actually explained it so much. I kept thinking in the normal web hosting way. I had no idea the internet was this easy. Torrents are really cool! I am sure to share ALL my USB sticks! Even the ones I don’t use.

Oh that’s what that is! I kept seeing that but it didn’t really click. Thanks!

So even if no one directly connects to my computer, just letting it seed is all you need? I use Deluge and, when it finishes downloading, it says “seeding” but I worry that means that someone can connect to my computer directly. Does it work fine if I just leave it be?
