Interesting article in Ars Technica about Meta and torrenting. For those who have never used BitTorrent, one of it's most critical features is that downloaders also become seeders. You are not only downloading, you are also uploading that data to others. Meta admitted to seeding in one deposition where Michael Clark admitted that settings were modified "so that the smallest amount of seeding possible could occur,". When you are discussing the terabytes of data that Meta admits to having downloaded, even a seeding ratio of 5% (which is going to have many BitTorrent clients scoffing at you and your download speed dropping rapidly) says they sent out multiple terabytes of data.
