First off, this is in the wrong section, should be relocated to the Computer & Technology section.
Generally, the higher number of seeds and peers, the higher the download speed. If you're stuck at 99.9%, then that means that the total# of peers or seeds only have 99.9% of that torrent file contents, which sucks but you can't do much about it.

Depending on what it is you're downloading you might be able to get something out of it anyway, i've had several OST's get stuck on 99.9%, but since that little bit that's left only affects one song all the others are done and ready to go.
If you're downloading a game or movie, then tough shit~

1 seed, leave on over night, only 1 person has 100% of the file so far.

I have no idea. Honestly, I don't know a fucking thing about torrents.its just a peer-to-peer file sharing program
that uses 'seeds' (people who have the thing you want)
'seeds' will have different parts of a file that you want and
the more 'seeds' you have the higher the rate at which you will be able to get the file.
if i explained it wrong, somebody correct me please. :]

You cannot plant a seed in the torrent. You can only wait for them to arrive.
As mentioned earlier, "seed" is a term for the people who have the whole file and continues to share it with others. However, if the file you are intending to download is very old, perhaps a few months old, there might not be anyone to transfer the information to you.
Files with a few hundered seeds usually complete downloading very quickly.

Basically, someone has a file on their computer, such as an episode of anime, for the sake of discussion. They create a tracker for that file and a torrent file, then upload the torrent file to a site such a mininova.org or isohunt.com (my two favourite torrent websites). I don't know how you create a tracker or the actual torrent file, but that doesn't matter. The actual anime episode will still be on their computer, and will not be uploaded to any specific server.
The torrent file itself will only be a couple hundred kilobytes big, usually under one megabyte, and will basically contain the information about the tracker and the file. You can consider the torrent file to be a 'gateway' to getting the anime file we spoke about earlier. Basically, the torrent file, once opened through a torrent program (such as mewtorrent (mew is a Greek letter that looks like a 'u')), tells your computer how to connect to the computer of the person that has the anime episode.
So, someone else download the torrent and, through it, is connected to the computer of the creator of the torrent, and is able to download the anime episode from the original creator - hence why torrents are known as 'peer to peer' applications. One client communicates to the other client almost directly, using an external server (the tracker) only to tell the first client how to connect to the second client.
A third person will connect to the torrent and, even if the second person doesn't have the complete anime episode on his computer, can download the part of the anime episode the second person has from the second person, as well as downloading the rest of it from the first.
More and more people join in this network, and everyone is downloading from each other. However, because people download from each other and not from a server, if no one is online that has the full anime episode (people with the entire file are called seeds, while people who are downloading the file are called leechers) then no one else can get the entire anime episode. Instead, they only download the parts that are available.
If I explained it properly (by no means am I claiming that I have) you can probably understand at least the basic concept of torrents, and if you're smart, you can even figure out some of the things that could go wrong.

If your looking for a good torrent app, I'd suggest getting utorrent. Very lightweight and easy as hell to use.
