More seeds usually means faster download, but not all the time. What you call DL’s is also called leachers , people wanting the file. The best way to think about bittorrents is a spider web. As a spider’s web has unlimited paths between points on the web, same for the torrent file. However, unlike the spider that needs to get to the fly, which is one item. Torrent files are often made up of multiple parts. You will get one part from one place on the “web” and another from another spot. You need at least one seeder to get the entire content of the file, but this doesn’t mean you will downloading directly from the seeder. A good rule of thumb: more seeders and more leachers = faster downloads.
