Seeding in uTorrent refers to the process of sharing a file with other peers after it has finished downloading. When a user leaves a torrent job seeding, it uploads the file to other peers so they can also download it. This sharing is essential for the BitTorrent system, as it ensures that files remain available for download. The more seeds a torrent has, the faster it can be downloaded, and when there are many seeds for a torrent, the files will remain available. It is recommended to share a file until the amount of data uploaded reaches at least the same as the amount of data downloaded, known as reaching a 1.0 ratio
