# BitTorrent
[BitTorrent](https://www.bittorrent.org) is a communication protocol for
peer-to-peer file sharing.
In BitTorrent context Leeching describes the process of only downloading a
file, seeding describes the download followed by also uploading it.
## Clients
There are various clients to use for BitTorrent down- and uploading.
The list below shows clients with an existing entry in this wiki.
- [Transmission](/wiki/transmission.md)
## 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.
Only download legal and safe torrents like the
[Arch Linux ISO](/wiki/linux/arch-linux/arch-linux.md#iso-medium).
Seeding it can help the community.

## 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.
