The only difference is that Peers or Leaches are those seeders who don’t have the complete file but have a fraction of it. The peers/leaches are also similar to seeders.
Instead, any computer over the torrent network that has the file completely downloaded can act as a seeder. There is no specific kind of computer that acts like seeders. You can act as a seeder just to help other torrent users to get downloaded on their computer.
The same concept also applies to you as well. In short, the computers that provide content to you for downloading over the torrent network are called the seeders and this act is called seeding. You are simply downloading the files from other computers in multiple parts into your device and these computers who are serving you the downloading of that content are called the seeders. So, the torrent network is simply a huge global network of interconnected computers that relies on each other for downloading and sharing files.
And whenever someone needs to have something on its PC downloaded, he/she can simply download it from the other PCs connected on that torrent network instead of downloading it from a single server. You can call the torrent network a sub-internet network where loads and loads of online devices are interconnected acting as a host and server at the same time. This is the reason why torrent downloading the more reliable, and fast and also supports pause/resume of the downloading more seamlessly. That means, there is only one server to serve you for your content downloading purpose.īut, in the case of torrent downloading, you are actually downloading the content into multiple pieces from multiple PCs connected over the internet which are acting as a server to you. Taking an example of downloading something from a particular website, you actually are downloading the contents from the server where that website hosts all the downloadable content. In order to understand seeding properly, let’s start from the ground level and discuss a little about how torrent downloading works.
