In terms of downloading from torrent sites and the like a Seed is someone who has the whole file and is allowing others to download from their computer, a Peer is someone who is downloading the file as you are. Peers are also usually seeds as well as you share the chunks of files you have already downloaded, the term "Seed" is usually only applied to those with the whole file avalable.
