I'd love to see the app on the Android phone (or any Android device) that will SEED a torrent file. I've seen them that will SNATCH (download) a file from a torrent site (e.g. from multiple sources via torrenting), but NEVER have I seen one that will SEED!
Could you post the name of the app? I know others who would love to look it over!

Ok ok... so in general, you cannot seed a torrent from anything other than a desktop-style client. Web-based (browser plugins) torrent CLIENTS are just that: clients (download) only! Browsers can't just SEND data off of your computer to anyone who asks for it! (If so, please send my your account names and passwords?)... browsers are designed to send a little, download a lot! not the other way around.... same for phones and tablets.... there's not a lot of storage there, so send a little, take a lot - but mostly to show on the screen, not store!
There ARE exceptions - there are things called "seed-bots" and other cloud-based "incantations" that will also work... but in general, for the hardware you likely have at home, you need to run a full-blown torrent app (like qBitTorrent or uTorrent) to be able to successfully download (leech) AND upload (seed)!
