Seeds, Peers and Leechers

Seeds : A seeder is a peer that has an entire copy of the torrent and offers it for upload. The more seeders there are, the better the chances of getting a higher download speed. If the seeder seeds the whole copy of the download, they should get faster downloads.

- In Short, Seeders are that the downloading of particular torrent is uploading for another client system who want to download it.

Peers : A peer is one instance of a BitTorrent client running on a computer on the Internet to which other clients connect and transfer data. Usually a peer does not have the complete file, but only parts of it. However, in the colloquial definition, "peer" can be used to refer to any participant in the swarm (in this case, it's synonymous with "client").

It Means, total users who are downloads the particular torrent.

Leechers :
A leech is a term with two meanings. Usually it is used to refer a peer who has a negative effect on the swarm by having a very poor share ratio (downloading much more than they upload). Most leeches are users on asymmetric internet connections and do not leave their BitTorrent client open to seed the file after their download has completed. However, some leeches intentionally avoid uploading by using modified clients or excessively limiting their upload speed.
The often used second meaning of leech is synonymous with downloader (see above): used simply to describe a peer or any client that does not have 100% of the data. This alternative meaning was mainly introduced by most BitTorrent tracker sites.

- It Means, The Persons who are only downloading, they do not uploading for other users.
--> Seeders mean : Number of people are uploading there download for another users.
--> Peers mean : Number of people are downloading and as well as uploading.
--> Leech : Number of people are only downloading.. Not Uploading..
