[QUOTE="TehCompuerzNerdz, post: 2636230, member: 893310"] Sort of. The client reads the data in the torrent file. From then on it gets the information of where the clients with the available file is (IP Address) through a couple of ways. The, the client starts receiving files from Seeds and Peers/other leechers. The speed at which you get the files depends on how much you upload. (Basically, if you share what you get, they share with you back. No sharing = No good download speeds). You'll want to give as much as you take, so it's fair. After your done, you'll want to continue sharing until you share as much as you downloaded (Ratio of 1:1. Meaning, you uploaded what you downloaded, or the amount of information). More seeders and peers do offer faster download times. That's fairly it :) BTW It's illegal to download illegal stuff. But, there are plenty of legal stuff :) [/QUOTE]
