@bi4smooth Thank you so much for the explanation. Really appreciate it.

New to the site and have been trying the following method whereby I only download some of the files within a large freeleech torrent (e.g. 18gb plus torrent but I only select about 3gb to download). But I noticed that the torrent once downloaded shows as leeching rather than seeding and it doesn't seems to help with the ratio

So does this method actually work?
