     Therefore, with more people downloading, there will be more bandwidth available, there will be more seeds and the download speed will be quicker.

   • 不過，使用BT也需要注意的地方，如使用BT的客戶端軟件下載完以後，硬盤上就多了一顆BT種子，此時，最好不好關閉BT軟件，否則網絡中就少了一顆BT種子，如果大家都那麼自私，BT將不復存在。 [MSC, trad.]

     However, there is something to note when using BitTorrent. After a BitTorrent client program has finished downloading, the hard drive will have one more BitTorrent seed. At this time, it is best not to close the BitTorrent program, or else the network will have one less BitTorrent seed. If everyone is so selfish, BitTorrent will no longer exist.

   • 例如：兩個月前的BT資源，現在多半是無效的，也就是通常說的「沒種子了」。 [MSC, trad.]

     For example, out of all the BitTorrent resources from two months ago, more than half are invalid now, or as we would usually say, "There are no more seeds".

     In P2P downloads, Internet content providers include two types, one is the distributor of the source file, including P2P resource distributing websites and personal end users; their behaviour is directly distributing source files and uploading torrents to let others download
