[criztalinz]

this may sound stupid, but can someone tell me what does reseed means?? i've dl BT files and after the files were dl, it says there it will reseed for 20 secs.. something like that.. but i'm not sure what it meant..

Reseeding basically means that once your file has completed dowloading - if you remain connected to the tracker - or reconnect to the dl link - other people will get to dl bits and pieces from what you've downloaded. Just like when you were downloading - you got bits and pieces from all the people connected to the tracker to make up your complete file.

(becuse of the way it works - I think BT is about the best form of sharing I've ever seen...)
