What is torrent? how does the files are managed?

  • where the data are stored? what do seeds and peers mean? how to understand torrent?

  • Answer:

    BitTorrent is a file sharing protocol in which people downloading a file are also uploading the file to others simultaneously. A seed is a user with the complete file. That file is broken down into little pieces. The seed then starts sharing those pieces with users who want the file. The seed gives out a few pieces to users, then the users trade with each other for the pieces they don't have. Once a users has the completed file(s), they become a seed.
