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 what
|
|
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 hosts that have it available.
|
|
When the download has finished, you become a host in the network
|
|
other people can download from. |
