Hello!
I'm really a newbie to the torrent-business. I am using uTorrent and have downloaded a Torrent. It says it has completed. I have a couple questions:
It's now says that it is Seeding. What does this mean? Do I need to do this, or is the download already complete?
How do I USE the file? I really have no idea. I downloaded it, and now I just can see it in my uTorrent box. How do I get to it?

If I'm unclear, please excuse me. I don't really know what I'm talking about :)

Thanks!

Yah bro, it can help you. Your torrents done, and it says it is 100 pecent complete. Yah? If so go to "My Document" and find a folder called "Downloads." This is the default location where utorrent places all of its files. So all you have to do is drag it out of that folder and you can use it. Its pretty simple. Seeding means you have a completed download, and you are uploading data from that file to other people, or in other words, they are downloading it from you.
 
right click on the downloaded torrent, go to open containing folder. thats were it is.

leave it seeding, you are sharing with others the file, like others have shared it with you.

moving/changeing/deleteing the file will cause the torrent to become currupt and you will get a error message, so only use it were it is, and if you no longer want to seed it, then you can move it and stop the upload.
 
When you are seeding a torrent, it means you are uploading the file to others just like they did to you. You can do seed the torrent to others if you wish, but its not necessary. When the file you wanted to download is finished downloading, right click the torrent in 'uTorrent' and then click 'Open Containing Folder'.
