[QUOTE="Censure455, post: 1883232, member: 576745"] A torrent works by connecting a community of computers together and splitting the files into pieces allowing people to download parts from other computers in the torrent "seed" that have that part available. For example while you download a file lets say it gets split up into 50 parts, and you download 20 parts and someone else has the other 30 parts, you two can share your parts allowing you faster download speeds rather than downloading the complete file from a single connection. Since you are all sharing the data/files, you also have to upload data to the network of computers, you can see what IP addresses (computers) you are connected to under "Peers". [/QUOTE]
