Right now, it's simple: you host what you download and publish on the LBRY Desktop app (hosting not available on odysee.com or Android). The hosted data is stored in the [lbrynet/blob files folder](https://lbry.com/faq/lbry-directories). On publish, the content is also sent to LBRY in order to help re-host content so your PC does not need to remain available.

While LBRY Desktop is running, it communicates to the network whatever content you're making available. For proper communication to occur, your router must have UPNP enabled or you have to manually port forward 3333 TCP / 4444 UDP (see router on how to do so, each one is different).

Think of it like how torrents or any other peer-to-peer (P2P) service works. First, you download a file from the host(s) that have made it available via seeding. When the download has finished, you become a host in the network (seeder) that other people can download from. Think of it like how torrents or any other peer-to-peer (P2P) service works.
