Seeds and Peers are typically terms used when discussing the uploading and downloading of torrents. Seeds are the number of people who have downloaded the entire torrent and are seeding it for others to download. Peers are the number of people who are downloading it at a given time. Once you finish downloading, you automatically become a seeder until and unless you remove the torrent from your downloads list.

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
