I just downloaded an extremely huge torrent file (took 11 hours to download), and now that it's finished the "Status" says Seeding. I have a torrent guide (im a torrent noob) that explains what seeding is.
"A seeder is someone who has a whole copy of a paricular file or set of files, and is willing to share them, i.e. is allowing you to connect with him/her. At least one seeder is necessary for any Bit Torrent download to operate. "
So right now, i'm guessing i'm the seeder. The thing is, the time frame says 2 days +. Do I have to let other people download from me?? or can I just cancel and start using my torrent?
