I was watching on it this morning but I just tried to go on it and this came up. The megathread needs to be updated.
Oh. Why is it always in the common redist? what does it do?

I see it sometimes when I download games and I usually avoid it but I want to play the game online so I want to know if its a genuine concern. Couldn't find anyone else talking about it on here :P
EDIT: Thanks for the info everyone! Makes much more sense now.
I don't know how to create them, just share them. Is there anyway I could find out how to create a torrent file?
What are ratios?
Hey everyone! I saw the comments and they were all very helpful. I just had no idea how torrents worked lol. I will be sure to do my part and I hope anyone with similar curiosity can also benefit from this post! Feel free to say your piece but note that I get the gist of it now.
This actually explained it so much. I kept thinking in the normal web hosting way. I had no idea the internet was this easy. Torrents are really cool! I am sure to share ALL my USB sticks! Even the ones I don't use.
Oh that's what that is! I kept seeing that but it didn't really click. Thanks!
So even if no one directly connects to my computer, just letting it seed is all you need? I use Deluge and, when it finishes downloading, it says "seeding" but I worry that means that someone can connect to my computer directly. Does it work fine if I just leave it be?
what is that?
