      Download something and look at the columns in the torrent client. You will see download and upload speeds. While you are downloading, you are also sharing the same file with others who are downloading it.

          Never tried that. I will look for that setting and see what it does next time I need to download something.

            I’ve never tried it either. It would be kind of an asshole thing to do. Torrenting only works because everyone contributes their fair share.
