Help with torrents

I'm about to put together another torrent of podcasts ( you can see the old one here - http://www.mininova.org/tor/479454 ).

Was wondering if anyone was able to help seed the torrent a bit late next week? If you're up to help then let me know so I can sort it out so you can seed quickly.

    How do you go about seeding?

    I know when you download a torrent file it also uploads at the same time?

    Is that what you meant by seeding?

    Aww you edited it - and I wanted to have a go about aural... :p

    But yeah - seeding is what happens when the torrent reaches 100%. What I'm planning is to send out the files to each person who wants to help, that way they will already be on their computer when the torrent goes live. That way they will immediately become seeders, helping anyone else who wants the file to get it quicker.

    That way we can try to avoid too much of a bottle neck early on (and given the content we'll be sharing this time I think it'll be popular ;) )

    The content is going to be about sex, so don't want anyone to get in trouble at work ;)

    I'll be sorting out exactly what's going up soon then I'll get in touch with more details.
