Best Answer

- seeds says how many people/machines are sharing the full file seeded by a .torrent seed. They are not downloading that particular file because they have it all.

- leaches says how many people/machine are connected to that particular .torrent seed and that are actually downloading or waiting to download a part of data. They don't have a full copy of the data, but the data that is had by many leachers together can sum up to the full file/data pointed by the .torrent file.

Leech: an egoistic person who downloads a file using P2P technology, and who does NOT share (enough) with others when in possession of the complete file, reducing it's Availability. Normally in BitTorrent, it is polite and considerate to leave your connection open long after you finish downloading to seed - so that other peers in the swarm, who do NOT yet have the complete file yet, benefit from you sharing, as you did benefit from others sharing when you originally downloaded the torrent. Some share more, some share less, but a leech is somebody who closes their connection as soon as they have downloaded the complete file. In the long run, your total Share Ratio (Tools > Statistics > Transfers Tab) should always be >1.000!

I have invites to the following private torrent sites:

bitmetv.org

waffles.fm (when open)

torrent-damage.net

bit-HDTV.com
