Message: <blockquote data-quote="rapa" data-source="post: 116436" data-attributes="member: 212">TorrentA torrent can mean either a .torrent meta data file or all files described by it, depending on context.File.torrentThe .torrent file contains meta data about shared files. It contains names of files, their sizes and check sums of all blocks in the torrent. It also holds the address of a tracker that hosts the torrent.PeerA peer is one instance of a BitTorrent client running on a computer on the Internet that you connect to and transfer data. Usually a peer does not have the complete file, but only parts of it.SeedA seed is a peer that has a complete copy of the torrent and still offers it for upload. The more seeds there are, the better the chances are for completion of the file.LeechA leech is a peer that does not have a complete copy of the torrent yet. When downloading is complete, it may stay around and seed the file as a seed so that others can complete their download. The term leech is also used for peers that have very poor upload/download ratios or leave the swarm immediately after their downloads are complete. The leeches usually contribute a majority of the bandwidth in a swarm.SwarmTogether, all peers sharing a torrent are called a swarm. Six leeches and two seeds makes a swarm of eight.TrackerA tracker is a broker service that mediates contacts between peers. The tracker is not directly involved in the data transfer and does not have a copy of the file.</blockquote>
