How many "seeds" are there out there?

Check the 'seed' number for your torrent file. 'Seed' are people who continue to share files after they have been downloaded. The more 'seeds' a file has, the higher its download speed will be.

If possible, download from a source that has multiple 'seeds' for the file you want to download. Once connected with enough 'seed', you can easily reach the maximum connection speed. However, this is more risky when you try to download movies and music. Learn how to choose reputable torrent sources because many are not necessarily good.
