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)

Note: Unlike other torrent indexes we find more trackers for a torrent and put them sorted by seeders into the torrent upon every download. This should improve download speed. Extra trackers marked with '+' sign. If you have problems with this then let us know.
FS Global 2008 is a Mesh-Scenery, which covers most of the whole earth. This exactly explains what FS Global 2008 is and what it is not.
Mesh-Sceneries are Sceneries of the 3D world in Flight Simulator. They may have different resolutions. The higher the resolution (= LOD = Level Of Detail), the better and realistic this scenery will be in Flight Simulator. "Normal" scenery is displayed as LOD5. This is a resolution of about 1,2km. The USA are generally displayed as LOD6. But Microsoft has added small higher resolution sceneries as LOD9 (about 70m resolution) in some few areas.
A smaller LOD-number means a worse, a higher LOD-number means a better resolution.
These various LODs are displayed automatically in your Flight Simulator in a way, that the higher resolution mesh will be displayed above the lower resolution mesh. You do not to have to do anything yourself. Flight Simulator scans the files, finds the one with mesh content and displays them accordingly.
However, not only resolution is important. The datasource is important as well! All LOD5 data are based upon so called GTOPO30 Data. These data are based on DCW data (back in 1998 part of the source for our first FS Global) plus additions which habe been generated in some unordinary and venturous way. Parts of these data have been created from drawn charts, which themselves have been made after travel descriptions! Parts of that more than 100 years old! Maybe you can understand now, why your FS looks "old" in some areas.
goro is right,
The original (retail) package comes with 6 DVDs. 3 are for FSX and 3 for FS2004 (FS9).
The FSX file cannot be used for FS9 and vice versa.
alright guys, don't panic, but I'm gonna give my computer (and myself ;-) some rest for the night..so seeding will stop for the night, but again don't panic, tomorrow seeding will continue until there are enough seeders to keep the ball rolling :)
Clarification: It reads it straight from the DVD1 install directory, so just move the 3 images for DVD2 and DVD3 all into your DVD1 directory (the one with Setup.exe).
When trying to enter terraincfg, I get error: "Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid."
