[When is an uploaded file not a seed?]

Thanks, Harold.

When a complete file is up-loaded, it becomes a 'torrent', I assume. Then this file is made available,  and it is counted as a seed, [again, assuming] Therefore why would a file be listed as available for d/l if it doesn't exist [as per the '0' under seeds?

 

[When is an uploaded file not a seed?]

As an avid 'torrenter' of 20 years, something leaves me puzzled. If a file is made 'available' for d/l [as in listed on various platforms] Why is that file, which I assume was once a seed, not available any more. If the original poster takes it down [I don't know how all this works!!], why is it still listed? Are some files w/ x peers just exchanging bits amongst themselves?

 

Inquiring [non-technical minds] want to know!

 

Thanks.
