I'm not very well educated in this topic, so I hope someone can correct me if I'm wrong here.
Torrenting as a whole, is not illegal. Look at Linux distributions for example, they offer direct downloads and torrents. What is illegal is distributing copyrighted files.
And torrents start seeding automatically so it's only legal as long as you torrent files that aren't copyrighted, right?
Not necessarily, that should be configurable from within the torrent client.
Even if you didn't seed, if it's copyrighted content, many places make it illegal to download it as well
