title: How does content hosting work?
|
|
category: getstarted

Right now, it's simple: you host what you download.
|
|
|
|
While the LBRY app is running, it communicates to the network whatever content you're making available.
|
|
|
|
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.
|

**Please note: Hosting fees are currently disabled on the network as we're currently working on a better way to implement the fee structure.**
