I am new to all this downloading stuff so please forgive my ignorance.
I am finding it hard to come to grips with it all. I am managing to slowly
download something, but what is it that is uploading?
Is any of the stuff on my computer available to others? Can they upload my
avi files without permission - or worse?

Thank you,
Lisa

BT shares files, or more precisely bits of them. The upload is those
bits of the file you already have, that others need.

What is being uploaded is what you have already downloaded of the current
file. Bit torrent is based on users sharing what they download. For example
most prefer that you upload (seed) to a 1:1 ratio. In other words, upload
what you download. No worries about your personal files being uploaded
unless you specifically build a torrent file and upload (seed) it.
