What does it mean to keep the seed in Torrent?

If you look at the torrent sharing site, there's a comment asking you to keep the seed.

What does this mean?

In the case of torrent files, one file is divided into several small units and shared.
The information you share is based on the .torrent file.
So if you don't erase the .torrent file, you can act as a seed and share the file information with others.
That's why I'm asking you to keep the seed. I'm asking you to leave the .torrent file without erasing it.
If you don't keep .torrent, it won't be shared, so it's better to share it to some extent.

Seed refers to a computer that has file data.
Not all of the file data is held, but a portion of it serves as a seed due to the nature of the torrent.
There's also the term peer, which is a computer that receives files.
Even though it is a peer while receiving the file, it will continue to serve as a seed.
So we can share it with each other quickly.
