I've been advised to be sure torrents I'm downloading are "well seeded." Could someone explain what this means? Thanks.

A "seed" is a a peer who has 100% of the torrent and is only uploading to other peers.

"Well seeded" means that there is a good ratio of seeds to the peers who do not have 100% and are still downloading.

This page "good torrents" gives examples:
