IPFS file not downloading


I am using ipfs to share files with other users, I upload it and then stop the ipfs daemon. So, ideally the file should have been distributed across other peers and downloadable to the recipient user irrespective of the fact whether the sender machine is running the ipfs daemon or not. Is there a latency here or am I missing something?
