"Seed" is not used in the torrent sense (of a running client, seeding a file to other clients), but as a "personal web server that stores all of your information and shares it with your friends" via the http protocol.  See [https://wiki.diasporafoundation.org/Federation_protocol_overview] and [http://p2pfoundation.net/Diaspora].  [[User:Nealmcb|Nealmcb]] ([[User talk:Nealmcb|talk]]) 16:29, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
