What does seeding a torrent mean?

Seeding generally simply means keeping a torrent downloadable by others. It means when you reach 100% you just leave it running so others can download from you. Too many people download something and then disconnect. This is freeloading. Eventually it will kill the swarm entirely when there are no seeders.

Why do torrents Go Green after seeding?

By default, most torrents immediately go green after seeding. It shouldn’t concern you if it doesn’t happen. Most torrents will go green when others start downloading the torrent files that you have uploaded. This rarely happens when you initially start seeding a torrent. This is because no other user has downloaded a torrent file from you yet.

Do private torrent communities have a seeding ratio?

Private torrent communities often have rules and expectations regarding seeding ratios. Actively contributing to these communities ensures sustained access to their resources. Seeding is more than a technical process; it’s a commitment to the ethos of peer-to-peer file sharing.
