I just read this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/comments/17quoib/can_someone_explain_the_basics_of_torrenting_or/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

and got curious as to what does it mean to seed for my computer. I mean, am I constantly connected to the torrent for people to download my stuff? Are there any security issues involved? How does it work?

I'm a computer engineering student so any technical explanation/terminology/detail is more than welcome.
