if you were to restart your computer while downloading or uploading a torrent it would stop temporarily while windows shut down but then resume after start-up. this will happen automatically as long as you have your torrent program set to start on windows start up (this is the default setting). otherwise file sharing will resume as soon as you run your torrent program.
It might be because your ports are not forwarded correctly or there are not any seeders for the torrent you are trying to download. Make sure you click "open with"(with your program listed on the right in the box) after you click 'download torrent'. Try downloading a different torrent and see if that works. If it does, then the previous torrent you were trying to download was not downloading most likely because of a lack of seeders. You could keep it there for a while though, it might download after some time. Another reason could be that your firewall is blocking your application (bittorrent client).
Seeds are users who have a complete copy of the torrent file and are sharing it with others, while peers are users who are in the process of downloading the file and sharing it with others at the same time. Essentially, seeds have the complete file, while peers are still in the process of downloading it.

In file sharing you transfer files from another computer connected to internet. While in case of downloading you receive files from dedicated servers.
how data errors occur?
Each torrent has its own unique fingerprint called a "hash". The content in a torrent is broken down into pieces or "bits". Each bit comes with its own hash. While a torrent is downloading, each piece of the content is subjected to a "hash check", where the hash of the piece is compared to the hash of the torrent to verify its integrity. A "hash fail" is where the piece's hash fails to match the hash of the torrent. This usually is due to a corruption in transfer. The hash check is one of the best features of bittorrent as it ensures that the completed download will be uncorrupted and prevents anyone from injecting any malware into a clean torrent. A small amount of hash fails on a torrent is normal.

Mostly the torrent softwares tend to install malwares along with it so try running your torrent file on a live website like torrentsafe.com, filestream.me etc.
