I am unaware of the terms being used and would like to know what they mean and do.Example: Seed:what is it and what does it dopeer: this is a little bit more self explanatory but still cluelesson some of the torrent sites i am seeing the word Leech again have no idea.If anyone can help i would appreciate it.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Seed: Someone, like you, who has finished the torrent and is just helping others, like you, download it.Peer / Leecher: Someone who doesn't have the whole file and is moving data both ways (uploading completed parts to others and downloading incomplete parts from others). Peer can also be used to describe all the people (seeds/leeches) combined, so leecher/peer is really a grey-area description.There are sites to help explain that... I'm sure someone will come along with a link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
