24. short explanation

Basically anyone who begins downloading or has downloaded the file will automatically start hosting, or "seeding", the bits and pieces that he has to anyone else who wants to download the file. This makes it so that everyone, not just the original file hoster or people who have completed the whole file, are contributing bandwidth to spread the file.
