What are seeds? What i gathered the higher seeds the faster the download. Whats it mean on BitTorrent in the seeds section when it says (e.g)... 25(12590) ? How do i get more seeds to make the downloads faster?
 
Seeds are the number of people who are sharing the file (the people you're downloading from). You have no control over how many seeds there are.
 
A "seed" is a person with a complete file available for sharing.

25(12590) means 25 seeds are online, out of 12590 total seeds. (Which is a very strange number actually; that's an awful lot of offline seeds)

The more online seeds there are, the faster the download.

There's nothing you can do to get more seeds. The seeds have to go online themselves.
