# BitTorrent

||||
|
||||
[BitTorrent](https://www.bittorrent.org) is a communication protocol for
|
||||
peer-to-peer file sharing.

|
||||
file, seeding describes the download followed by also uploading it.

||||

## Leeching/Seeding
|

## Settings for Download and Upload
|
||||
|
||||
Leeching is the process of only downloading a file, Seeding describes the
|
||||
download followed by alsow uploading it.
|
||||
When the downloaded torrent should not be seeded the best way is enabling and
|
||||
setting `Stop seeding at ratio:` to `0` under `Torrents` in the settings.
|
||||
This will stop the process of seeding once a package is downloaded allowing
|
||||
other torrents to start downloading.
|
||||
|
||||
## Legal Situation
|
||||
|
||||
This is not a legal advice.
|
||||
Take your local laws into account when downloading torrents.
|
||||
Some torrents can be copyright infringing and therefor illegal to download.
|
||||
Use Transmission only to download legal and safe torrents like the [Arch Linux ISO](/wiki/linux/arch-linux/arch-linux.md#iso-medium).
