See BitTorrent (protocol). Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 16:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seeders are people uploading the torrent files and Leechers are the people downloading the files. Simple. M2K —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.141.187 (talk) 02:13, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
