TORRENT


WHAT IS TORRENT???



Torrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used to distribute large amounts of data. The initial distributor of the complete file or collection acts as the first seed. Each peer who downloads the data also uploads them to other peers. Relative to standard internet hosting, this provides a significant reduction in the original distributor's hardware and bandwidth resource costs. It also provides redundancy against system problems and reduces dependence on the original distributor.

WHAT IS SEEDER AND LEECHER???

At any moment, a seeder is a system which is uploading parts of file and leecher is a system that is downloading.
In torrent system, each file is stored in small pieces, instead of a whole file. Each user might be either uploading the file parts or downloading them or both. Now the interesting thing is that you can download all these parts form different  peers (torrent client takes care of that) based on which peer can provide you which part. A peer which has completed its download and is now working as host (uploading the file pieces) is a seeder and a peer which is downloading file pieces is a leecher.

In Otherwords………..

SEEDS : the people who are using the torrent client and finished downloading the movie , game.....etc and they are in seeding mode (that means we take the movie , game etc........and if the seeders is zero then....you cannot download the movie , game cause there isn’t anyone grab the file from & if the seeders increased that means the download speed increase
LEECHERS : the people that are downloading the file (movie , game)
and haven’t  finished yet.....and if the leechers increased that means the network will ne crowded and the download speed will be reduced 
so better seeders better torrent
more leechers bad torrent
50 seeds / 50 leechers.......better than 500 seeds / 1000 leechers
so that means download speed = seeds / leechers
