This American Life - The Complete Archives Vol. 1 (1995-1996)
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)

uploaded by Reverend Mediocre
This is Volume 1 of a continuing series of releases with the aim of having the entire WBEZ This American Life archives available in MP3 format.
Vol. 1 includes the 47 episodes comprising the first two years of Ira Glasses popular public radio program. Until episode #17, the program was known as \\\\\\\"Your Radio Playhouse\\\\\\\", after which it became \\\\\\\"This American Life\\\\\\\". Several of the very early episodes have since been re-made as \\\\\\\"This American Life\\\\\\\" with the same stories but new introductions and replaced the original episodes in the archive. These are pulled straight from the WBEZ streaming archives.
If you like This American Life, and other public radio programs, SUPPORT PUBLIC RADIO! Give to National Public Radio, give to Public Radio International (who distributes This American Life), I make these available because I love the program and think that episodes should be more readily available to put on your personal listening device, but without support from listeners like you and I quality programming like This American Life is not possible.
