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)

Direct HTTP Download - download this torrent as a regular HTTP file using Furk.net servers as an accelerated proxy.
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.
Limit of 100 has been reached. If you need to see the complete list of the files you have to download the .torrent and use you favorite BitTorrent client
This torrent is huge, but it seems like there are a lot of repeats. I can count at least four different "Player's Handbook" PDF files. Still way better than shelling out $30 for each book.
Everything you need is - DM and Adventurer book for begginers , more skilled and experts. Its about 30 dollars

Pigulsky, it is not one book, but a collection of many books that are commonly used for reference and resources while playing D&D. I suggest that you download the torrent and then use BitComet to actually downlod the files. With BitComet, you can download the individual files in the torrent instead of having to download the whole damn torrent. You should research D&D (or just some of these books) on Google to find which ones you think you want. If you are new to D&D, know that you need these three books to play: (1)-Player's Handbook, (2)-Dungeon Master's Guide, and (3)-Monsters Manual. The current version in use is 3.5, so avoid 3.0 - also of note: The best character sheets available are the official ones at Wizards of The Coast on their website. Also be advised that you can not play D&D on your own, you need friends to play with - whether it be online or people you hang out with. You also need special dice for D&D - or a dice program if you are playing online. The dice you need are 4,6,8,10(x2),12,and 20 sided. If you can't find anyone to play with, the following games follow the rules of D&D and are very fun to play: Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Neverwinter Nights. They are all computer games. If you need help with anything D&D related, email me: jaywilliams2005 (at) Yahoo.com - I changed @ to (at) so I don't get spam from bots. Hope this helps you out. Have fun and good luck

Almost forgot, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read the .pdf files. Those are just scanned in pages from actual books. You can get that for free (legally), so search for it.

Thanks for the up. It should be noted that there are a lot of books in there that seem to be identicle, so its necessary to go through and check/uncheck what you do/don't want.
Been looking for the Monster Compendium for a while, so it'll be good to have that.
Thanks a lot!
