Super-seeding is an algorithm developed by John Hoffman for the BitTorrent communications protocol.
The algorithm applies to a scenario in which there is only one seed in the swarm. By permitting each downloader to download only specific parts of the files listed in a torrent, it equips peers to begin seeding sooner.
In 2003, BitTornado became the first BitTorrent client to implement the algorithm.
