You can partially seed?
I don't know the terminology, but so long as the torrent is active, you're uploading. If you selectively download files, then you can only upload the chunks you have downloaded, obviously. Is that "seeding" if you aren't a "seed" with 1.00 availability? idk.
I'd still count that as "seeding" since you're running the torrent for upload only, but idk if there's a precise definition somewhere.
Yes you definitely can
Yes. Select to download a part and when you downloaded that part you are seeding it. The torrent swarm counts you as a leecher, since it doesn't know you are done downloading. But you are actually seeding your part.
What if I only want to download a specific part of it and not more than that. For example a specific episode of curb your enthusiasm and not anything more. Is that possible to stop and seed that episode? I thought by default it will try to download the entire torrent.
Select to download that part.
