Seeds are the people on the net that time have the file your seeking availible for you to download, these are peer-2-peer meaning the files are not on a server somewhere but rather on a few computers around the web.

Just to expand on Jon - The more seeds that are sharing the file the faster connection you will get to download it. Rather compared with other file shared websites such as rapidshare, file factory etc you will get a fast connection to the storage rather than involving other users
