If I sign up for a torrenting site like torrent galaxy or something, and leave my computer running then will other people get seeded? Or do I have to upload a file or can I just have it finished?

If you are in the US, or any other country that has strong copyright enforcement, using a VPN is an absolute necessity. ISP’s usually have some form of 3 strikes policy for being caught downloading copyrighted material. As in, 3 strikes and your disconnected.
