JustAnAverageUser Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I understand the basic concept of Torrents. I understand that when you download a torrent and finish downloading the files, you become a seeder and other people can access the files you downloaded to get their own copies of the files. What I'm confused about is after you complete a share ratio of 100%, what happens when you close the torrent program? Can people still access your files and leech off you, or do you have to keep the program running to continue being a seeder? Also, what exactly is a tracker? Is it just an automated program that tracks down available seeders with the files you're downloading, or is it another user?I've been downloading torrents for a long time but have never really understood how they work. The main reason for my sudden curiosity is because I want to do an informative speech on Torrents for my speech class, and I've been having a lot of trouble finding credible sources for information. If you know the answers to my questions, can you also tell me where you got the information? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
