When you seed you make sure that others can download that same file, but yes, they establish a connection with you to download it. If I have understood it correctly.
Because it’s aired for free by the public service maybe? Maybe a VPN is required to access it outside of Sweden but otherwise it’s so available that I suppose no one has bothered to make a torrent.
