Why print an obvious lie?
Can you actually download a torrent without seeding it?
Yes. Although it is considered "poor form" by the pirating community.
Heck, at some point I was seeing torrent clients advertising features that let you block connections to people who weren't uploading and only downloading.
I thought most throttle you if you don't seed too much?
