The factor of faster downloading speeds is sequential and benefits those who download the torrents from other users. When the torrent upload is complete, each leecher will try and get the torrent file from the uploader. That means that if there are 10 leechers, then each of them will be downloading at a speed of 10kbps.
The 10 leechers will soon finish downloading the torrent file. Each will also be seeding at kbps, the same as that of the initial uploader. This translates to a download speed of kbps.
The chain goes on. If 11 more leechers wish to download the torrent file, they will be downloading the file at a speed of approximately kbps.
This indicates a faster speed compared to the 10kbps for the initial downloaders. This is because there is a ratio of one to one per seeder and leecher. This is the importance of seeding. If everybody wanted to download a torrent file from one uploader, there would be congestion when downloading.
Failing to seed at a one-to-one ratio would see the uploader always stuck when seeding. In this case, the speed of the torrent would hardly go up since the leechers always outnumber the seeders.
Seeding is not taken lightly by most private trackers of torrents. You can be banned from most private trackers for not seeding back in a one-to-one ratio. You may wonder how these private trackers get to know your torrenting details.
Each of these times, they indicate the number of torrents you have downloaded and how much you have seeded back for others to download. This is possible because the tracker you got the torrent files from can keep track of these torrent files. Whenever you stop seeding a torrent that you got from the tracker by a ratio of one to one, it will prompt their systems to auto-warn you.
Repeated warnings may soon warrant a ban. There is a simple answer to this question: you should probably seed as long as you can, and if possible, forever. As long as the content you are seeding is of interest to internet users, it is worth sharing it. As we mentioned earlier, the preferable seeding ratio should be one-to-one.

PS Do you think bad things will happen if I install two versions of utorrent on my computer so I can use the other one as my guinea pig? I am always wanting to tweak things so maybe it's time to just go ahead and get over my fear and try learning more about programming.
Yes, as many other things not only in IT area. Trying to learn more about programming is not the same as to program yourself. Programming is not the same as hacking and also it is not the same as software or solution development especially agile development of the industrial products , u know. Yes I don't mean to diminish the knowledge of programmers by insinuating I could pick it up on my own without a lot of hard work. As you can tell, I don't really have the language down.
I found a good lifehacker article that goes over some basics, hopefully I will report back here in time with success re: following your suggestion.
Thanks again, and keep up them goods learnin's! You summed up my biggest issue with uTorrent. I don't know why the program doesn't let you move all of the files you bulk selected to move instead of making you move each one and set a download directory for each one? And, then to have to reset the location because it doesn't remember the "new" folder is very frustrating. I figured this was a bug and would have been fixed eventually it doesn't even use the standard windows file browser for directory selection but it is still there.
The suggested solutions don't really work for my uses. This post will cover practical setup of torrent file distribution for local network with minimal amount of time and scripting required. Script is made to accept list of hostnames. Create file with one hostname per line and launch process test several times before grand launch of course :.
Script will upload utorrent to target computer and instruct it to start download. In no time you have your own cloud of peer to peer nodes , working hard at efficiently spreading your file s through network.
In this scheme I am using throwaway utorrent client without configuration. To do this on regular basis it would be more efficient to deploy persistent uTorrent installations with configuration, enabled web interface and running as system service.
