What's all this 'Seeding' and 'Leeching' stuff?

Long Live Rock :: FAQ
soon as you start a download (leeching), you are also uploading (seeding). That cannot be prevented - it is part of the BitTorrent system, and nothing to worry about. The only file that is uploading is the one that you are also downloading. Nothing is uploaded without you knowing about it, and no part of your hard disk is 'shared'. Once the download is done, it is considered very selfish and rude to close the download window straight away, because all uploading (seeding) would also stop.

What bandwidth do I need for seeding a torrent?

GayTorrent.ru :: FAQ
If you are the first seeder of a new torrent, make sure you dedicate as much bandwith as possible to upload this torrent. The bandwith for a new torrent should be at least 20kb/s, the more the better of course. Stop other uploads if needed. Especially when uploading big torrent, make sure you have enough bandwidth to seed at least one full copy in a decent time. It does not make sens to seed a 1GB file on a 56k connection as it would take forever to spread the file!
