Seeders are people who have already downloaded the file earlier. Once a user has finished downloading a torrent, whenever he's is online, he will upload tiny bits of file to those users who are still downloading the torrent. The downloading process of your torrent depends on the number of seeders online. The more seeders the faster the download will go.
Leechers are people who has a negative effect on the swarm of the torrent. Leechers are commonly the users who download much than they upload. They are the users who doesn't leave their bit torrent clients seeding after downloading the file. They didn't spread the share of seeds that has been downloaded to the user.
When searching torents, always magnet those links with high seeded torents. If there are no seeders, you will never finish the download, no matter how many leechers there are!

How long does it take to torrent?
This depends on MANY things. The most important is perhaps the number of seeders and leechers. If there are many seeders then it will be fast. If the seeder to leecher ratio is bad (aka worse than 1:2 or 1:3) then it can be slow. But perhaps the most important factors are the size of the file and your internet bandwidth.

Do the number of seeders and leachers matter when downloading torrents?
It would be better if there were more seeders, as it would download faster. Don't think number of leechers matters. Added by Krofs" Yes. The general rule here is to choose torrents that have a high seed to peer ratio. Seeds have 100% of the content associated with the torrent and are only uploading to peers. Peers also upload to other peers, but are also looking for other peers to upload to themselves and their download capacity is almost always higher than their upload capacity. This rule applies even though one swarm has significantly more active users than another. For example, a torrent with 30 seeders and 70 peers (30% seeders) will generally be faster than one with 500 seeders and 2500 peers (20% seeders) as the average upload capacity available to the peers will be higher. http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-pick-the-fastest-torrents-090707/ Optimizing Bittorrent Clients for Speed http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/optimizing-bittorrent-clients-speed.htm

Why doesn't my torrent downloader not download it downloads at 00.0 kbps it has seeders and stuff but it doesnt download help?
The torrent is probably dead and has no Seeders. There has to be atleast 1 seeder to have the complete file. If there are only leechers with no seeders then it is an incomplete file. They stated there were seeders. Also note, that most P2P software is smart enough to split the files across multiple leaches, so that a full copy exists between them all - even though they may not have the full file themselves. Normally when you cannot download on a P2P product, you are firewalled (either locally or through your provider). Most of these products, and their websites, have help sections that will walk you through the process of opening the ports - changing the ports to avoid localized firewalls. Without more information about the exact P2P software you are using there is not much more help that can be provided.

Is it safe to get a cracked torrent Skyrim from the Piratebay?
NO! Who knows what comes off of pirating websites that say they pirate in the name. Also, you should be careful with cracked files. Who knows what is in there. And lastly, don't steal. It's wrong. The makers of Skyrim spent a lot of time and money. Don't take what is theirs. Buy the game. It's only $60. It won't kill you. Added by SIZZOR: He's right, stealing is wrong, and you should buy the game. Piratebay.org is not a safe website, but if you are willing to get the"crack" you should see there two bars saying "seeders" and "leechers" if there are moren seeders than leechers, its probably a safe "crack". Another way to see if its safe is to look at the comments section the bottom of the screen. I have been to the pirate.org, and my opinion is "The piratebay.org is a just a place where you go to put a ton of crap on your computer and be unable to use it, because it was just a virus.

Why your torrents are very slow?
Often, torrents are slow at downloading because it does not have many seeders or leechers. When you are downloading/uploading the file, you are referred to as the 'leecher'. Once your download is complete, you will see that your Bittorent client will keep on uploading the file, since downloading takes much less time than uploading. Once you have completely uploaded the file, you are known as a 'seeder'. The more the seeders on a torrent, the faster the downloads. Other than that, you can forward your ports in order to increase your download speed. Isohunt's forums offer a good place to find out almost everything about torrents, and how to increase your download speeds. You will have to register first to view the forums, but its free!
