    See Brian's BitTorrent FAQ and Guide
    http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/1.html

    Seeding is the process of connecting to a torrent when you have a complete file. There are two ways to do this:

    1.by leaving your client open after the download completes. Once you have the entire file you become a seed, and the BitTorrent client remains connected to the swarm, sending to other users until you close it.
    2.by clicking on a torrent link (or opening a saved .torrent file) and selecting a filename of a file that has already completed. BitTorrent will check over the file and realize that it's already complete, and continue to connect to the tracker and serve as a seed.

    Make sure you read the rules of the trackers you use also

    Most all require seeding for a specific amount of time or to a certain ratio

    In this torrent world all is about sharing: if nobody gives, nobody receives.
    Seeding means that once youīve got what you wanted your job is not done, you received, now itīs your turn to give back. Donīt delete the files and let them running in your client, so others will get what you already got and everybody happy.

    If you enjoy downloading, which is leeching

    Then enjoy uploading, which is seeding

    downloading=leeching
    uploading=seeding

    downloading & uploading=peers
    Yes Sir, I'm Right On It!!

    Your problem is the codec? Try Gom Player. Its not related to seeding.
    Seeding = Leave client open.Upload back to others.
    Simple?
    Thank you better2reign You are Awesome.

    There are also a few codec packs if you like your current media player. One of them is the k-lite pack, I forget what the others are called.
