Not seeding is classed as leaching. What is leaching you may ask? Well, torrents will only survive if people seed. If you leach the file you want to download will have low seeds and take forever to download. Seeding will share chunks of data of that file you download to others who want to download load it next, the more seeds the faster the download. it will only share chunks of data when the torrent client open. Well that's the way I have always thought it worked.

Download speeds can slow down depending on the trackers being used in the torrent, if a tracker sees that you never seed, it can / will throttle your download speed through the torrent.
Ideally you should upload untill it reaches 1.00 this way you're giving back what you take. (1.00 is not that big a chunk)

I agree, share a little then you're not seen as a leach.
