i don't want to be selfish, and wouldnt mind being a seed for other torrent downloaders, but does seeding to the torrent community take up internet usage? ie. i don't want the files that i download to cost me double the downloaded megabytes than it needs to.

thankyou for answers! im confused haha :)

It depends on your ISP and your plan.

If they count your upload and you are charged for excess over your allowed limit then yes it will cost you to seed a torrent.
