A downloads is the number of how many times the torrent has been downloaded according to its tracker record
A seeder is a peer that has a complete copy of the torrent and still offers it for upload. The more seeders there are, the better the chances are for completion of the file
A leech is usually a peer who has a negative effect on the swarm by having a very poor share ratio - in other words, downloading much more than they upload. Most leeches are users on asymmetric internet connections who 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 term leech, however, can be used simply to describe a peer - or any client that does not have 100% of the data
A peer is one instance of a BitTorrent client running on a computer on the Internet that other clients connect to and transfer data. Usually a peer does not have the complete file, but only parts of it, however, peer can be used to refer to any participant in the swarm (in this case, also known as a client). Note that the colloquial definition of peer is anybody, leech or seed, involved in a torrent
A health (or avaiability) the number of full copies of the file available to the client. Each seeder adds 1.0 to this number, as they have one complete copy of the file. A connected peer with a fraction of the file available adds that fraction to the availability, if no other peer has this part of the file. (ie. a peer with 65.3% of the file downloaded increases the availability by 0.653, when two peers who both have the same 50% of the file downloaded and there is one seeder the availability is 1.5)

quote:conserve bandwidth for the wonderful people who work on firefox maybe...?Seconded. I've noticed that a lot of people using BitTorrent lately seem to think it's just another Kazaa. They're forgetting the reason this thing is so damn popular even Microsoft are trying to steal it: it's a great way to legitimately share files without causing major stress on your bandwidth.
They need to ban any comments with "freeipods.com" or other referral sites anywhere in the posts. Add those domains into something similar to a bad word filter.
I don't see why someone would want to download free stuff like this from here instead of from the official website, where you always find the latest version and don't have to worry about virus, spyware, etc...
But still this got 186 downloads allready :/

No pre release has been release, this probaly contains a virus. Developers and pro compuiter users know the beta/alpha's Deer Park: <a href="/redirect?http://www.mozilla.org/projects/deerpark/">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/deerpark/</a> which is the latest (some what unstable) firefox/gecko engien
Nice job seeding this and getting it high on the directory charts everyone.For those of you who didn't get it from torrent: you can still seed by putting your Firefox exe into your torrent folder to seed it. Just a reminder. Keep up the good work, stuff like this is what will keep BT alive and out of the law's hands.
