Do the seeders generate the coins specific to each torrent, or is this some sort of scam where coins are made by TRON and users now have to pay for what's already free..?

I have no clue! That said, from the website:

> Users can earn tokens for continuing to seed files after a download is complete

> Users who participate will exchange tokens with each other on the basis of resources provided, not mining

Seems like you get paid when you seed, and you can use what you earned to download other stuff. How's the initial money generated? No idea. Maybe you've to buy the tokens for real $$$ or bitcoins or something. Or maybe you can choose to host a file and gather tokens.
