What is the meaning of seeds and peers in torrents?

Seed is a person who has a torrent file open in their client (let’s say the same file you are trying to download) and the only difference between you and them is that they have the complete file downloaded already and are now “seeding” – sharing the file with peers but not downloading any parts of the file from others.
Peer is someone who is both downloading and uploading the file in the swarm. Files are downloaded in pieces. When a user downloads some pieces, he then automatically starts uploading it. A file will be downloaded faster if more people are involved in the swarm. A peer becomes a seed when he has completed 100% of the file and wishes to continue uploading.

I had never heard of it before. I think I still have a lot to learn about a pirate bay torrent. I use this torrent because for me it is the easiest to use and requires no VPN or fees. This torrent is hard to find nowadays, so it was a real boon for me. What do you think about it bro?
