seeders

They distribute kernels

Seeders are users in a peer-to-peer file-sharing network who have a complete copy of a file and make it available for others to download.

The more seeders a torrent has, the faster and more reliably you can download it.

Once your download completes, you become a seeder yourself—staying connected to share with others is considered good etiquette: Please seed after downloading.

In agriculture, a seeder is a machine that plants seeds.
