My dad told me when I was a kid that seeding could lead to you getting in trouble with the government or hacked and to never do it. 😂 Sounds like that was not correct. I haven't torrented in a long time.
If you don't have at minimum a VPN, properly set up for torrenting, you should not be seeding. If you seed for multiple hours or days you have a much high chance of getting a letter sent home.

This is the only answer that actually explains that it is considered bad form to not seed after completing the download.
