Define "uploading"?

Question

In Bittorrent, the file is downloaded and uploaded. What does it mean by uploading?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Uploading is the process of loading files from your computer typically to a web server.

Loosely, The term can also be used to describe the process of your computer contacting and communicating with another computer or server over a network.

Most ISP's will brag about their download speeds but skim over the upload speeds which are typically much slower. If you are into online gaming or web development or application development you will want to have fast speeds in both directions of the data being transmitted.

BitTorrent is a file sharing software. When you download something to your pc it is also shared with everyone else using that service. That means they can connect to your pc and download it from your pc anytime your connected to their service. This type of connection is not secure and you can put your information and comptuer at risk by sharing with strangers.

Answer 2

Uploading means, that if you are downloading a file, you are also giving pieces of that file to other people so that they can also have the file downloaded 100%. You need many seeders to download something because it will download faster. When you download, you are taking the file from the people that is uploading it. Hope I helped

Answer 3

When you download, you are getting the file from another computer or server. When you upload some one is downloading that file from your computer.

Answer 4

uploading means you will transfer a file to the internet, or to onother server from your computer

such as uploading a large file or pictures to a host server, if you want to give share to that file.

in short it's a reverse of downloading..

Answer 5

Downloading means taking a file from another computer down to your pc; uploading means taking a file from your computer and sending it to another computer.

Originally your computer was considered a lesser computer that communicated to a more powerful computer (e.g. a servier, mini, or main frame) and the more powerful computer was considered of higher tier and above you. Hence the upload meant sending it UP to the higher tier unit and download meant sending it DOWN from the hither tier unit to your unit.

Answer 6

it means parts of the file are being shared from what u already downloaded to other users .. so u are uploading to other users ..

Answer 7

Torrents work but cutting the file into pieces (Seeds)
As you get one seed (Downloading) you share that with a person who needs that seed. (Uploading)
