Seeders are individuals or systems that share files over a network, particularly in peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing environments. They upload complete files, allowing others to download them. The more seeders a file has, the faster and more reliable the download process becomes for users. In the context of BitTorrent, seeders play a crucial role in maintaining the availability of files. When a user downloads a file, they initially connect to seeders to obtain the complete data. Once the download is complete, the user can also become a seeder, contributing to the file's distribution and helping others access it.
